The exhibition will feature posters prepared by Hungarian artists for films which opened in Hungary last year. It has been timed to coincide with the 39th Hungarian Film Week, which starts on January 29.
Thirty-six posters have been accepted for this year's competition, which provokes very different reactions from film professionals - one of the reasons its organisers have decided to repeat the show year after year, says film producer Tamás Hutlassa, who started the event.
The winning poster will be decided on by a professional jury, including poster designer Kristóf Ducki from the Hungarian Poster Association, graphic artist Tamás Futó representing the Hungarian Graphic Studios Association, graphic artist Kálmán Molnár on behalf of the Hungarian Visual and Applied Artists Association, and graphic artist István Szugyiczky of the Hungarian Applied Graphics and Typographers Association.
Audience awards will be presented too, based on votes submitted at the exhibition and on the internet. Online votes may be submitted at www.filmplakat.hu and www.szemle.film.hu
The exhibition aims to raise the profile of Hungarian film poster art as well as recognise the country's finest graphic artists.
