"In the early stages, when we began to popularise Hungarian films in Paris, we mostly counted on Hungarians living in France as our potential audience," says Viktória Sovák, who is in charge of organising this year's festival. "Surprisingly, however, we get more French viewers than Hungarians year after year. What is more, audience numbers are growing -- a credit to efforts made by the Hungarian Institute in Paris to involve French people at the festival. Many come to the festival the first time out of curiosity, but then become the core audience."
Audience feedback so far suggests that Mundruczó's Delta and Ternovszky's Cat City, a feature-length animated film, will be the top attractions this year, according to the organisers.
Festival-goers will get the chance to hear the director Csaba Bollók and the writer Yvette Bíró, who co-authored the script for Delta.
The shorts on the programme are 411-Z by Dániel Erdélyi, Slap (Csapás) by Hannigan Declan, Ant and Grasshopper (Hangya és tücsök) by László Csáki, Everyday Encyclopaedias (Hétköznapi enciklopédiák) by Szabolcs Hajdu, Caroussel Rite (Karusszel rítus) by Zoltán Gayer and Péter Molnár, Stolen Rhythm (Lopott ritmus) by Martin Szecsanov, Hungarian Wave (Magyar hullám) by Anna-Réka Baktay and Ribs (Oldalbordák) by Péter László.
