The festival will open with a screening of Puskás Hungary, the award-winning biographical film about the famous footballer. The film will have its British premiere at Check the Gate, which is the reason Zoltán Gera, the Hungarian footballer who plays for Fulham FC, has been asked to be the festival?s chief patron.

 
The festival?s central theme this year is migration, displacement and exile. The programme will include director Márta Mészáros? film Last Report About Anna, István Szabó?s Sunshine and Pál Sándor?s Daniel Takes a Train, as well as Papp Zsigmond Gábor?s documentary East-West Passage. Hungarian classics such as Somewhere in Europe,directed by Géza Radványi in 1947, Attila Dargay?s animated film Mattie, the Goose Boy from 1977, and Gábor Bódy?s avant-garde film American Torso will also be shown.
