A jubilee and at the same time unusual Hungarian film event will take place in Poland in the next few days: the 15th Hungarian Film Spring will be held this year exceptionally in autumn and online.
Organized by the Hungarian Center in Krakow, which is celebrating its 20th birthday, the award-winning Hungarian feature films and short films of the last year or two will be available for viewing from all over Poland in October, on the largest Polish online film platform that brings together studio cinemas. The "live" opening of the festival will take place in Krakow in mid-October, and its guest of honor will be Ágnes Kocsis, who also graduated from the Polish department, and who will come to Poland for the Krakow premiere of her film Eden.
Since 2001, the stand-alone program of the Hungarian Center in Krakow, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, has been creating an opportunity for the Polish audience to get to know the latest works of Hungarian cinema. In 20 years, the festival has conquered the whole of Poland - and this year, with the help of online telecinema, it will become available to an even wider audience.
In the framework of this year's Autumn Hungarian Film Spring, fifteen new award-winning productions (6 feature films and 9 short films) will be presented. The main patron of the screening is the Hungarian Embassy in Warsaw and the Hungarian Consulate General in Krakow, the main supporter is the National Film Institute, and the Polish side is the Wacław Felczak Polish-Hungarian Cooperation Institute.
The screening will be opened by Ágnes Kocsis' new film, "Eden", which won the main prize in Orenburg, and which also won the best cinematography award at the Otranto Film Festival.
Zoltán Nagy's "Szép csendben", Péter Bergendy's "Trezor" and Barnabás Tóth's award-winning feature film "Those who remained" will be presented in Atlanta, Lima, Sofia and Moscow. Those who like comedies and black humor will be entertained by the works entitled "Seveled" by Dénes Orosz and "Comrade Drakulics" by Márk Bodzsár, the latter of which won the awards of the Porto Alegre Fantaspoa and Sitges International Film Festivals. In the short films section, Anna Flóra Buda "Entropy", Géza M. Tóth "Matches", Ferenc Rofusz "The Last Supper", Gábor Ulrich "Dune", Balázs Dudás "Két csík", Bernáth Szilárd "Zabadok", Jenő Hódi "Heritage" , Linda Dombrovszky's "Rebirth" and Witek Ducki's "A Day on the Border" works will also be available to the Polish audience.
