The term of the current leadership (trustees and president) expires December 31, 2009. The date of the election has not been announced. A committee has been working on a guideline of MMKA tasks and problems, as well as candidates for the incoming board. The platforms of the five presidential candidates have been presented in a MMKA document.
The committee outlined the following challenges for the MMKA:
- the need for greater cooperation with television stations
- the need for a better system of film distribution
- a decline in the network of the art house cinemas, with a decrease in admissions and less attendance for Hungarian films
- unclear ownership of the filmvagyon
- the importance of legal changes in: the film law; the media law; the MMKA structure to enable it to adjust to new challanges, new technological and media environment (internet, digital broadcasting etc.) and new goals.
