This filmic celebration focuses the diversity of European arthouse cinema and its role as a cultural and communal phenomenon. First launched in 2016, EACD is now being held in more than 600 theatres in 37 countries on the one day, 14 November. In all, 25 Hungarian cinemas will be involved, screening exciting new European and domestic films in a wide variety of genres, bestowed with awards at Cannes, Berlin, Venice and other renowned festivals. Of particular note this year are the restored film classics, tributes to directors György Szomjas and Marcell Jankovics, known for his animated favourites.
