Not all of us may know that filmstrips are not necessarily just stories for children. Educational filmstrips were first made in the early 20th century, and after World War II in Hungary they became part of the political propaganda arsenal – and for us explicit documents of our recent past.
Hungarian collector Ferenc Bíró has put together a unique and still growing filmstrip and projection equipment collection. In cooperation with several contributors, in an internationally unprecedented effort, a digitized version of the collection has been put online on the webpage of the Virtual Filmstrip Museum (Virtuális Diafilmmúzeum.)
