The 2022 Hungarian Motion Picture Festival was held 9-12 June in the picturesque cities Veszprém, Balatonfüred and Balatonalmádi at Lake Balaton.

About 100 current domestic productions were screened in various programs over 4 days in 3 cities at a total of 8 venues at the Hungarian Motion Picture Festival witnessing the country’s flourishing local production.

The event generated unforgettable experiences in the cool of the evening at lakeside open-air screenings. Veszprém, Balatonfüred and Balatonalmádi contributed a pleasant atmosphere and spectacular locations to a genuine festival feeling for viewers of all ages.

The main aim of the Hungarian Motion Picture Festival is to show the production of the past months at special venues to the wide audiences; at the same time, organizers are creating a meeting point for the industry, and are also planning to open it up to the international film community in the coming years.
