Hungarian director calls for joining forces for film industry

English

 
(MTI) - Diana Groo, who has won awards in Geneva and Cottbus for her latest film Vespa, said the biggest problem filmmakers in Hungary were facing was uncertainty, lack of information and unpredictability regarding financing.
    
She said the cancellation of this year's Hungarian Film Week, the country's most important film festival, was a great damage to the industry.
    
In this situation she said she had suspended work on two new films, one about the world's first woman rabbi and the other about a world famous diva.
    
Last year, Groo's film Vespa won the German Foreign Ministry's prize for promoting inter-cultural dialogue at the Cottbus film festival and the best director award at the Cinema Tous Escrans festival in Geneva.
