"So I went there and I found there were plans for a [modern] gold mine. The more I heard, the more I knew it was not like the average gold mine planning in Europe. "It would have a pond about a hundred times bigger than the pond which had the accident in 2000 - the planning was for 800 acres, the whole valley. There is gold all around in the hills - under the houses and so forth." In an expected 17 years of mining, four mountains would be destroyed to create an open-pit mine two kilometers in circumference and 400 meters deep. "I realized it was an opportunity to show something important. There is something wrong. It's an environmental issue, an economic issue, an issue of cultural history. So I started making the film." The result is the 76-minute �j Eldor�d� (New Eldorado) depicting a controversy over a village that is stunningly beautiful, but is now on the very brink of total destruction. The film is exceptionally balanced in its coverage of the contending points of view, giving time to a spokesman for Rosia Montana Gold Corporation, partly owned by a Canadian mining company, Newmont, to make the case for the mine. When asked about this balance, Kocsis said, "This is very important - to make a film without manipulation. When I saw Michael Moore's film, Fahrenheit 9/11 - I saw that it is not a documentary, but a feature. And I wanted to make a film that would really try to be objective. I would hide myself." In fact, the film derives much of its power from its objectivity. Kocsis features a Hungarian woman who accepted the company's offer to buy her house and relocate her. He also shows young people who want the mine to open and give them jobs. The film has been shown in Budapest cinema theaters and in festivals in Germany, Romania, Amsterdam, and Toronto. Kocsis hopes it will be shown during Hungarian Film Week, February 1-8. Also, this year, it will be shown in Trieste, Taiwan, and France. Its most prestigious showing was at the European Parliament in Brussels. Copyright 2001 * The Budapest Sun ------------------------ Yahoo!
