“The Hungarian
Film Festival is without a doubt the best ethnic film festival in Los Angeles.
It is well programmed and well
produced. I can not think of a better
way in which to promote Hungarian cinema in Hollywood.”

“The opportunity for film enthusiasts to see Hungarian
films, exchange ideas and generate relationships in the entertainment
community are just the beginning of the positive benefits that stem from
the Hungarian Film Festival. This festival
provides an opportunity for
Hungarian filmmakers to voice their passion for storytelling through the beauty
of film. “An American
Rhapsody”, a film by Hungarian Eva Gardos, was
the International Grand Prize winner of the Hartley-Merrill Screenwriting
Competition, but it was the Hungarian Film Festival that allowed Eva to
share her voice with the rest of the world.”
DEBBIE VANDERMULLEN…

“The festival has made it possible to meet and converse
with Hungarian directors, writers and actors and be
exposed to films we would
ordinarily not see. Hollywood can be quite insular. We need the Hungarian
Film
Festival to enrich our cultural scene.”
IRVIN KERSHNER … Film
Director/Producer
In loving memory
“Congratulations Bela on your
Fourth Annual Hungarian Film Festival in Los Angeles. You’re the best
Hungarian
Ambassador for introducing Hungarian Film-makers & their films
to Hollywood. All the best.

Did you ever see Bill Murray do the salsa? Or the mambo, rumba or any of that other Latin stuff? Well, let me tell you something. The guy’s got rhythm. I couldn’t help myself watching him in awe as he steered his way around the dance floor with a couple of breathless women. So, thinking I should get a firsthand experience, I navigated through the crowd of undulating bodies in a hope of being next in line. But woe is me, the music suddenly ended and Bill slipped off the floor.I found him in a...
