The 20th Anniversary Edition of CineFest Miskolc IFF Ready to Take Off

By

    MISKOLC: Thirteen titles including January 2 by Zsófia Szilágy and Vulture’s Wake by Szabolcs Hajdu have been selected for the Feature Film Competition of the CineFest Miskolc International Film Festival, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary from 6 to 14 September 2024.

    “When we created the festival, our dream was that CineFest would one day become the leading international film festival in the region. We've managed to achieve this goal with the quality of the film selection and the related programs that grow richer every year. This year, the competition programme will also be of comparable quality to the major European festivals, and the Hungarian premieres of the year’s most important films will take place at CineFest,” said festival director Tibor Bíró.

    The programme also includes CineDocs, East of Europe and CineNewWave, all in the official selection, as well as Open Eye, China Focus, CineClassics and Turkish Days, among others.
