Viral Video: 84 Seconds of Beautiful Budapest

When it comes to film production on Hungary, it is well documented that you are spoiled for choice when it comes to locations. That a new video seems to make the rounds weekly showing off the classic and the modern, the shabby and the chic of the city only confirms how dynamic a location it is. The latest offering, and one of the best, comes from The Calvert Journal, a culture/design sight that calls itself "a guide to the contemporary culture of the New East: eastern Europe, the Balkans, Russia and Central Asia." The video must have taken some doing, as it manages to achieve that rare balance of both presenting well-traveled locations in a new light (the thermal baths, the Chain Bridge, the Basilica) alongside locations you need to get your fingers dirty to find, like the hip new Eight District bars and graffiti of central Pest. All in all it's a poetic ode to modern Budapest with a real eye for its contemporary, photogenic flavor.
