State Secretary Bence Retvari, who introduced the amendment, said that the bill would also cover art cinemas. The new proposal will require that 80% of a state-run lottery would go to support the Hungarian Film Fund.
The bill will also outline a new system for the transparent dispersal of public funding for films, and will create a new honorary title, "Film Artist of the Nation," to be awarded in place of the current "Master of Hungarian Film" award.
