In collaboration with the organizers of the Veszprém-Balaton 2023 – European Capital of Culture programme, the National Film Institute has refashioned the top event of the Hungarian film industry last year: the domestic celebration previously held in Budapest (Hungarian Film Week) has been combined with a summer feeling and advanced to the top meeting point for the industry and audiences in the charming Veszprém-Balaton Region.

The body melodrama by László Csuja and Anna Nemes, which premiered at Sundance 2022,  was selected into the Feature program of the esteemed international festival in Australia. The film, which stars world champion body builder Eszter Csonka, was awarded in the USA as well as in Germany.

Yellow Umbrella Award for Best Actor in an international feature film went to Ernő Fekete for his role in Perfect as You Are at Balkan Panorama Film Festival, held in Izmir, Turkey, at the end of May.
