With a yet another victory in next year's general election, Viktor Orbán and his Fidesz party could further tighten their grip on political opponents and independent journalists in Hungary. His 15-year rule has left deep rifts in society. “Explanation for Everything” attentively portrays the small and large dimensions of the ongoing conflicts in a troubled European country.

About the film
A failed final exam becomes a nationwide scandal? Anything can be instrumentalised if it helps the right-wing populist government, and right-wing politics is booming in Europe and beyond. “Explanation for Everything” is a sharp and detailed portrayal of a socially divided Hungary and a lesson about the growing populism in Europe.
With journalist and project manager Kornélia Kiss we will talk about politics and society in her home country: How does the polarisation of the media in Hungary affect the social climate? What does the government's media policy mean for Hungarian journalists and independent reporting? What role can film and art play in overcoming social conflict?
