The week-long festival running in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa has been organised as the first of a series of events to mark the 20th anniversary of re-establishing diplomatic relations between Hungary and Israel, she said.
The award-winning titles to be shown include Kornel Mundruczo's family drama "Delta," set in the Danube delta, Szabolcs Hajdu's "White Palm" about gymnast brothers, Ferenc Torok's "Overnight" about a stock broker in post-communist Hungary, and Attila Gigor's "The Investigator" about a pathologist who is both the perpetrator and investigator in a murder case.
Before the feature films, a documentary and six short films will be screened.
On the festival's opening day, Hungarian filmmakers will discuss with their Israeli counterparts cooperation possibilities.
