Gabriella Hámori was awarded twice, as best leading actress and also for best supporting role. János Kulka was chosen as the best actor for The Game / A játszma by Péter Fazakas.
The audience award went to the Christmas Flame / Nagykarácony by Dániel Tiszeker.
The 2022 Hungarian Motion Picture Festival was held in the picturesque cities of Veszprém, Balatonfüred and Balatonalmádi. About 100 current domestic productions were screened over four days at a total of eight venues.
The Hungarian Film Academy decided the fate of the awards in 20 categories, while the most popular domestic film of the festival received the Audience Award. It can even be called a change of an era in which women were awarded in 12 categories.
In collaboration with the organisers of the Veszprém-Balaton 2023 – European Capital of Culture programme, the National Film Institute - Hungary refashioned the top event of the Hungarian film industry last year. The domestic celebration previously held in Budapest (the Hungarian Film Week) was combined with a summer feeling and advanced to the top meeting point for the industry and audiences in the charming Veszprém-Balaton Region.
The main aim of the Hungarian Motion Picture Festival is to show the production of the past months to wide audiences. At the same time, the organisers 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.
