Pedagógus-ábrázolások a magyar film átmeneti időszakában (1954–1962)
Images of Teachers in the Transitional Period of Hungarian Cinema (1954‒1962)

Summary/Abstract: The discussed period of Hungarian film history lies in between socialist realism (1948‒1953) and the new wave (1963‒1968) and is therefore considered by film historians to be a transitional period, including the period between 1954 and 1956. The author analyses teacher characters who appear in the films of this eight-year period. The article claims that, while before this period there are hardly any depictions of teachers (in previous years party secretaries were featured in the role of educators), in these years the male teacher appears in some films as a leader and the female teacher as a role model. There is a positive correlation between the education policy agendas of the Party during the consolidating Kádár regime and the challenges teachers faced in the film plots
