Festival director Zoltán Füredi, himself a director and cinematographer, said films in the programme are characterised by sensitivity to cultural differences and tolerance. "In addition to being enlightening, they offer recipes for life and survival," he said.
In addition to representatives from Hungarian public television broadcasters Magyar Televízió and Duna TV, Czech public television will also participate at the festival.
Films in competition will be shown in four categories: "The Situation" presents exciting and sometimes extreme situations; "We Are History" shows films about war and revolution; and "At a Disadvantage" and "Recipes For Life" explore the traditions and lives of people at a disadvantage as well as how they cope.
