The films from METU’s Department of Motion Picture, representing nine different programs, are carefully selected through a rigorous curation process. The works of emerging filmmakers entering the film and television industry span diverse genres and themes, including dramatic narratives, heartfelt human connections, and explorations of pressing social issues in both fiction and documentary formats.


The screening will take place at the Uránia National Film Theatre, where the short films will be shown with a break and with Hungarian and English subtitles. The event is free to attend but requires registration.
