-''Béla'', unrealised. An experimental film scenario written by Hungarian Dada artist and avant-garde filmmaker György Gerö, based on a book by Lajos Kassák and Imre Pál ''The History of the Isms'' (Pal Azizmusck tostenek), Magveto Budapest, 1972, and first published in 1924 in the dadaist review [[IS]]. The original scene-by-scene film script and complete scenario of the film consist of 4 pages currently housed in the Budapest City Archives. Gerö never completed the film. Bruce Checefsky later made a film inspired by Gerö's script, ''Béla'' (2009, 35mm, black & white, sound, 6:29 min).
-Lajos Kassák's review of the Dokumentum (1924) includes a descriptive passage of Gerö's conceptual theory as well as several key filmmaking techniques.
-Gerö was spared political prison, declared a neurotic and placed into a private hospital where all traces of him were lost. Filmed on location in Cleveland, Ohio.
