On a journey through the south-east of Hungary some years back, Esther Kinsky finds herself in a small town in the Alf???ld, the Great Hungarian Plain. Resignation and a glorification of the past are the most dominant threads in the inhabitants' conversations. Like many other things, the cinema, 'mozi' in Hungarian, has long since closed. Esther Kinsky's own passion for the cinema moves her to bring the decaying mozi back to life.

Seeing Further is a powerfully eloquent declaration of love to the cinema and the collective experience of watching by Esther Kinsky, one of Germany's most important contemporary writers.
