At their first meeting on Tuesday at the Budapest Music Center, participants began reviewing urgent policy issues, focusing on funding rules and the future role of the National Film Institute, the statement said.
The initiative aims to provide the incoming culture ministry with democratically legitimate, expert-backed recommendations based on broad consultation, it added.
Filmreform has also issued an open call to creators, producers, distributors, educators, technicians, critics, and others to join the effort, engage with existing professional bodies, or form new ones where representation is lacking.
Organizers stressed that the reform’s principles are democracy, professionalism, trust, transparency, and consensus.
They argue that Hungary’s film policy needs legitimate professional representation, rule-based operations, performance-driven funding, and consistent application of EU standards. The first phase of consultations runs until May 8.
The draft proposals will be presented at Budapest’s Eurocine international film industry exhibition (May 8-9) and shared with the incoming ministry for further negotiation.
