Hungarian University Film Award and screening of the film „Nyersanyag” (dir.: Martin Boros)

The Hungarian Department of Film and Media of UBB is participating in the Hungarian University Film Award (PUMF) program again this year. In this year’s edition of the PUMF, launched in spring 2021 at the initiative of the Hungarian Society for Film Studies, students will be able to watch and discuss six contemporary Hungarian feature films selected by a preliminary professional jury. After the film screenings, the students will gather in Budapest at the end of the academic semester to announce, in a final workshop, the winning film of the Hungarian University Film Award 2026. In the second semester of the academic year 2025–2026, the Hungarian Department of Film and Media will integrate the program in the form of a film club, the last stage being a film screening included as an introductory program within the Frame Festival. Each member of the participating university groups votes on the six films in the MEF, and following the group votes, a ranking is drawn up – the hierarchy of Hungarian films considered the best. During the PUMF final, organized in early summer and traditionally hosted by the Metropolitan University of Budapest, one or two student delegates from each participating institution analyze the films together with their colleagues, while also representing the opinions of their own groups.
