Géza Bereményi (born 25 January 1946) is a Hungarian writer, screenwriter and film director. He was awarded Best European Director for his film Eldorado at the 2nd European Film Awards.[2]
Born as Géza Vetró (his forefather Italian master church builder Giovanni Vetro settled in Hungary in the early 18th century). His father Géza Vetró an ethnic Hungarian from Transylvania (part of Romania) escaped from the Romanian military draft to Budapest, Hungary where he met and married Bereményi's mother, Éva Mária Bereményi, who was 16 at the time. The two of them soon fled to Vienna after Geza Vetro got the Hungarian call-up as well. They returned to Budapest a year later, after the end of World War II, right before Bereményi's birth, in January 1946. Until the age of six Bereményi was raised by his maternal grandparents Sándor and Róza Bereményi, who owned and operated a stall at Teleki Market in the 8th district of Budapest.[3]
