If you have only just begun to take an interest in Esperanto and wish to know some basic information about this fascinating subject, please start your reading at the first article of this series. Having already completed 43 articles, I am now at the stage of writing articles for those readers who have learned quite a lot about the Esperanto language and movement already, and who are now wanting to find out more than just the basic introductory information.

In his essay, "Filmo en la Historio de Esperanto," which appeared in the May 1982 issue of the journal Monato, Arpad Abony-Nagy frustrates the reader with a tantalisingly brief mention of a 60-minute film called "Angoroj," the sound-track of which is entirely in Esperanto. We are told neither the date it was made, nor the country it was made in. No synopsis of the plot is given and there is no evaluative comment about the quality of the film itself. ( Of course, taking into account Bernd Wechner's remarks in the Discussion Forum associated with the previous Esperanto topic article, maybe Abony-Nagy was just being polite! ) We are, at least, told that the members of the cast were mainly "IAT-anoj" but then we are left to wonder just what that abbreviation means. I certainly have never heard of IAT and after a long and fruitless search through a near-contemporary (1985) issue of the Jarlibro of the Universala Esperanto-Asocio, I could find no trace of it among the national and special Esperanto organizations listed in that directory. If any readers of this Topic can solve this puzzle for me, I'll be very grateful but I have begun to suspect that IAT is a misprint for SAT.
(New readers of the Esperanto Topic can find out all about SAT - Sennacieca Asocio Tutmondo - by clicking here: http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/espe... )
Abony-Nagy does provide some useful information and tells us that the director of Angoroj was L. Mahe, the music was composed by Rene Texier, and some members of the cast were: Jana Ravselj, Srdjan Flego, Marc Darnault, Jean Thierry and Jack-Andre Rousseau. Photographs of all of these mentioned actors can be found in the article in Monato, but for more information about this film, you may have to purchase a copy of it on videotape for only 66 Dutch guilders.
