Apollo cinema’s biggest event called Magyar Filmszüret, which returns every year, turns into a very special program series this year due to the pandemic situation.
Unfortunately, Apollo cinema’s next, sixth Hungarian film festival could not be held due to the viral situation. It is expected to be held in 2022, with grandiose Hungarian film content and with special audience meetings. However, this year, film lovers can attend a special online “film festival” called 5 and a 1/2 Hungarian Film Festival of Apollo Cinema.
Programs will last for one month and one of the most popular online streaming service providers, Netflix will join the event, too.
The audience can log in on the Apollo Cinema Facebook page to watch the live broadcasts and participate in conversations about the movies. The audience can also ask the filmmakers and professionals.
Important: The Netflix streaming site is available only if you have a subscription!
