The annual Hungarian feature film, short, documentary and animation production is offered for selection and is nominated by Magyar Filmunió at international film festivals. In addition to the participation at major international industry events such as Berlin, Cannes, Moscow, Karlovy Vary, Venice, Locarno or Montreal, Magyar Filmunió's endeavour is to present the contemporary Hungarian film production at as many festivals and events as possible.
Since May 2001 Magyar Filmunió has been a member of European Film Promotion, taking part actively in the initiatives of the organisation that is supported by the MEDIA Plus Programme of the European Union.
The Hungarian cinematography, with its fame and traditions, with high artistic value, acclaimed authors, directors and cinematographers is playing a significant role in world-wide cinematography. The organisation of retrospective screenings and film weeks abroad presenting library titles helps keep all these values and traditions alive.
