Watch: Generation X-Pat: Budapest Hungary
This film, produced in 1995, was an introduction to Budapest during a time when hundreds of companies where settling into this Central European capital. We made the film to outline the issues that a new-comer would face when they arrived.

While slightly outdated now, the film still holds up as an introduction to Hungary and its history. And now, 20 years after the fall of the Iron Curtain, we can see what Budapest looked like only a few years after the 'changes' happened.

This is an excerpt of a 45 minute long film:
