Festival favorites and new Hungarian films ahead of the European Art Cinema Day. This year, the European Art Cinema Day awaits cinema fans with a diverse selection of films and thought-provoking stories, which will be held in hundreds of cinemas across Europe, including 27 Hungarian art cinemas, on Sunday, November 23. (editor remark… hope still just in time to roll along)
In addition to the competition films of the most famous festivals – Cannes, Berlin, Venice – the domestic offer also includes the new film by Ildikó Enyedi and Gábor Herendi, as well as an award-winning animated film made with the participation of Hungarian creators. “Europe is going to the cinema again!” – One of the largest pan-European film festivals is being held for the tenth time, which last year attracted more than 90,000 viewers in 700 cinemas in 40 countries. The 10th European Art Cinema Day, which will take place on November 23, draws attention to important social issues through the diversity of European cinema, and at the same time puts the spotlight on art cinemas, which offer a diverse, open cultural and community space to the audience all year round.
Hungarian art cinemas traditionally join the cross-border screening series, initiated by the International Association of Art Cinemas (CICAE) and the Europa Cinemas network. Organized by the Art Cinema Association, more than a hundred screenings are held at 27 locations across the country under the auspices of the event.
The participating cinemas – 8 art cinemas in Budapest and 19 in the countryside – will welcome the audience with a unique film selection on this day, giving viewers the opportunity to see the selected works weeks or months before the national premiere. The diverse film selection includes European co-productions of various genres, from Italian crime fiction to Belgian courtroom drama, French film satire and German psychological drama to Norwegian animation, and two new Hungarian films are also featured prominently in the program.
