Géza von Radványi

film director (1907–1986)

In the history of cinema, Géza von Radványi is one of the names that keeps returning.

The record lists Géza von Radványi as film director (1907–1986).

Géza von Radványi was born at Košice in 1907. His recorded nationality is Hungary.

The studio system was at its height in this period: contracts were long, the output was industrial, and a handful of studios decided who worked.

He worked as film director, screenwriter and journalist.

Cinema keeps its people visible long after the industry that produced them has changed shape.

That the work was made from Hungary shaped it: national industries differ in what they finance, who they cast and which audiences they can reach.

Géza von Radványi died in 1986, aged 79. The films remain, which is the only form in which a screen career survives.
