Professional Days

A 3-day professional programme will give you the opportunity to discover the work of the partner institutions. This year, we are organising our professional days around two major themes: 1) heritage of filmmakers working abroad and international networks of the film industry; 2) film-related special collections in the film archives.
Colleagues interested in the opportunity to present their research are kindly asked to send a proposal to barkoczi.janka@nfi.hu.

Decisions on the programme are made by the festival’s curatorial team, taking in consideration of the program focus, artistic aspects, and logistics. We plan to organise the festival on site. Travel costs will be reimbursed for lecturers invited to participate at the program.
For those who already had the chance to enjoy our festival and our warm welcome it’s an occasion to come back to the beautiful city of Budapest.
For those who could not yet participate, it's time to discover a new destination for film professionals and film lovers!
