Béla Zsitkovszky

Béla Zsitkovszky (3 April 1868 - 16 September 1930) was a Hungarian cinematographer and film director. Zsitkovszky was a film pioneer notable for producing the country's first ever film The Dance (A táncz) in 1901. Zsitkovszky was a cinema projectionist who was commissioned to make a film. He shot it entirely on location as Budapest lacked a film studio.[1] In 1901 he opened the first Hungarian film laboratory.[2]

gollark: I've made (most of) this UI for viewing details on an incident report now. I'm not very satisfied with the layout though.
gollark: I may be biased but the network security page is good.
gollark: I figure it's not hugely useful linking to all the many, many individual function documentation pages. So maybe only the important functions, important *APIs*, or more freeform documentation for other stuff.
gollark: A link to the main page is useful, Yemmel's project idea list, maybe other things?
gollark: The CC:T wiki?
