This year, we’ll be able to do just that by joining together to watch movies you won’t be able to watch at home. We have the best of this year’s Israeli films, and many great international films from the U.S.A, Poland, France, Germany, Austria, and around the world.

All the films are screened in the original language with subtitles, so foreign viewers in our country can also enjoy them.

Collaborating partners: Budapest Film, BZSH, Erzsébetváros, Golem Theater, French Institute, Goethe Institute, Hebrew Language Center, International Visegrad Fund, Kibic Magazine, MAZSIHISZ, Austrian Cultural Forum, Warsaw Jewish Film Festival. We are also thankful for the support of the Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), the Embassy of Israel in Budapest, and the Israeli Cultural Institute.
