- DirectorPéter BacsóStarsFerenc KállaiLajos ÖzeZoltán FábriBanned for over a decade for its outspoken criticism of the post-WWII communist regime in Hungary, Péter Bacsó's 'The Witness' has since then achieved unparalleled cult status in its native land. Known as the best satire about communism, 'The Witness' has become a cult classic, which was also well received by critics and general audiences alike when it was finally released outside of Hungary. Its candid and realistic portrayal of the incompetent communist regime has earned great acclaim for both the director and the film itself when it was shown at Cannes Film Festival in 1981. 'The Witness' takes place during the height of the Rákosi Era, which was closely modeled after the ruthless and brutal Stalin regime. The film follows the life of an ordinary dike keeper, József Pelikán, who has been caught for illegally slaughtering his pig, Dezsõ. Instead of doing hard time for his "heinous" crime, Pelikán is elevated into an important position, generally reserved for the communist elite. Of course, Pelikán is utterly clueless about his newfound luck, not to mention his new job. Even his new benefactor, the mysterious Comrade Virág, is reluctant to reveal the real reason behind Pelikán's preferential treatment. Thus, begins Pelikán's hilarious adventure deep within the "sophisticated" communist society. One failure after another the incompetent Pelikán is elevated higher and higher on the communist echelon, all the while remaining completely clueless about his promotions. Until one day, when he gets called for to return the "favour" by falsely testifying against his long-time friend in a mock-up show trial.
- DirectorPéter TímárStarsKároly EperjesKriszta SzalayTamás CsehThe 40 year-old football fan named Tutti passes out during work and he travels back in time to 1953 when the Hungarian football team beat England in the "Match Of The Century".

- DirectorMárta MészárosStarsJan NowickiGyörgy CserhalmiMarianna MoórThe life story of Imre Nagy is one of the defining stories of 20th century Hungarian history. He was the first communist leader to become the symbol of a national revolution, who, in addition, withdrew from the Warsaw Treaty and stood up for democracy based on a pluralist party system. Many argue that the role he assumed in the revolution of 1956 and his continued loyalty to the notion of the revolution, which prevailed until his death, did not clearly follow from his communist convictions and his past experiences in Moscow.
- DirectorBence GyöngyössyStarsPéter RudolfImre BajorAndrás KernPéter and Lajos are both broke playboys. Lajos tries to win over a Mexican soap opera tycoon, the widow Dulcinea de la Rosa, to be his wife. The two men cross paths when they both fall in love with starlet Ibolya.
- DirectorGergely FonyóStarsPéter FancsikaiBálint EgriBernadett Gregor"Young, dumb and full of love!" is a hilarious comedy about sex, love and youth. What happens when a clumsy teenage boy meets the woman of his dreams? A woman who's a little bit older, a little bit married, and a little bit unfaithful - hey, nobody's perfect. But, she does exist; you can see her, you can touch her, sometimes she even seems interested - so you just have to make her yours. Only it's not that simple. Your great plans become great disasters as you try to overcome a jealous husband, a nerve-wracking lover, a paternalistic janitor, a bashful paddle-boat lender and a girl, who may deserve a lot more attention than the "dream woman" herself.
