Farkas Ferenc kolozsvári éveinek filmzenéi
Ferenc Farkas’s Film Music Compositions in Kolozsvár

Summary/Abstract: Ferenc Farkas wrote fifty-four film scores between 1932 and 1973, thus he is one of the few Hungarian composers whose life and work is strongly connected to the screen. During his years in Kolozsvár/Cluj (1941–1944) he was involved in the production of Men in the Alps (1942) awarded at the Venice Biennale, and in Rákóczi’s Song (1943), the representative historical film of the war years in Hungary. While generally music for films is seen as some kind of a routine work for the composers, Farkas’s scores always had first-class artistic values and significant impact on the composer’s career.
