Beyond Budapest team organised four thematic tours for the participants of

Think Twice Audiovisual Workshop.

The four visits were held in the 8th district, Budapest. During the 'workshop' walks we made a special focus on: the local churches, markets, art galleries, the locals themselves and the aristocratic palaces of 'The District'.

The aim of the tours was to collect impressions from the different spectrums of the city life. Over 20 amaizing places were visited all in all. Local guides, hosts, institutions and the Local Government were helping our program.

The four groups are making short movies reflecting on the visited places and tematics.On the 18th of November You can watch the movies Yourself, in Toldi Cinema.
