The INOTA coal-fired thermal plant, built in the 1950s during the Communist era and once one of the country's largest industrial sites, was shut down in 2001. Hilda Carlsson, 33, said she and her friends travelled from Sweden largely to see Frahm at the INOTA festival. The INOTA plant featured in the epic 2017 American dystopian movie "Blade Runner 2049", starring Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford, which was partly filmed in Hungary.
