Hungarian Film Festival returns – The Budapest Times

Written by Bettina Nemes

Almost four hundred films in eight categories have been registered for the 44th Hungarian Film Festival, which will take place from 3-9 February at the Corvin Cinema in Budapest after a 13-year break.

The first film festival took place in 1965, but there have never been as many submissions as this year. Thanks to the 382 entries, it is clear that the programme will offer a complete overview of current Hungarian film production. Each feature, documentary and animated film will be followed by discussions with directors and producers.
