Hungarian Film Week opens with István Szabó’s Relatives

The traditional showcase of the Hungarian film production of the year, the 37th edition of the Hungarian Film Week will be held in Budapest between January 31 – February 7, 2005. This year nearly 120 foreign professionals accepted the invitation from Magyar Filmunió to the Hungarian Film Week that plays an outstanding part in the international promotion of Hungarian films. The foreign critics’ Gene Moskowitz Award will be handed over at the final ceremony on 7th February.

The traditional showcase of the Hungarian film production of the year offers a good opportunity to have an idea of the trends of our cinematography, to meet filmmakers and professionals of the industry and to discover new talents as well. We are planning to screen more than 25 new feature films and a rich selection of short features and documentaries.
As we organized last year, this time we shall again present documentaries in the first 2 days of the festival while the feature films, shorts and experimental films will be screened from the morning of February 2.

The festival will be held in Mammut Multiplex and the Millennium Center, where simultaneous translation in English and French is provided for the feature film screenings, while English translation is available for the short features and documentaries.


This year nearly 120 foreign professionals – festival organisers, film critics and reporters, some distributors and producers - accepted the invitation from Magyar Filmunió to the Hungarian Film Week that plays an outstanding part in the international promotion of Hungarian films.

Beside the advisor of the Cannes Film Festival’s official programmes’ selection committee, delegates of other Cannes sidebar programmes – Critics’ Week and Directors’ Fortnight – also visit Budapest. From the A-category festivals of key importance representatives of the Karlovy Vary, Locarno, Moscow and - this year for the first time for years - Venice and Montreal festivals. Representing the world’s significant festivals programme directors and selectors arrive from Bangkok, Chicago, Seattle, Bradford, Edinburgh, Jeonju, Leuwarden, Trieste, Oberhausen and Cottbus.
During the first two days devoted to documentaries the Hungarian Film Week receive selectors of the Marseille, Thessalonica, Cracow, Oberhausen and Wiesbaden documentary film festivals.


During the first week of February several critics and reporters of famous foreign newspapers, from among the greatest international professional newspapers, journalists of Variety, Screen International, The Hollywood Reporter, Cineuropa and Écran Total visit Budapest. Representing the film art periodicals, critics of the French Positif, the Russian Ekran and the Italian Carte di Cinema take part at the festival, while journalists of Berliner Zeitung, FAZ, La Libération, Neue Zürcher Zeitung, NRC Handelsbald, Pravó and La Reppublica report the greatest foreign dailies.

Following the screenings with simultaneous interpretation filmmakers and talents are introduced to the foreign guests during professional discussions moderated by Györgyi Albert.

In accordance with previous years’ tradition, the foreign critics’ Gene Moskowitz Award will be handed over to the best feature film at the Hungarian Film Week’s final ceremony, on 7th February.

This year, Hungarian Filmunió runs its office on the fourth floor of Mammut where our staff is at service of the enquiries with any further information.
