National Film Institute Hungary
The National Film Institute Hungary (NFI), known in its original full Hungarian name as Nemzeti Filmintézet Közhasznú Nonprofit Zártkörűen Működő Részvénytársaság, in short Nemzeti Filmintézet (NFI), was formed by the merger of the Magyar Nemzeti Filmalap and the Médiamecenatúra Program. Act CVI of 16 December 2019 amending certain laws in connection with the establishment of the Nemzeti Filmintézet Közhasznú Nonprofit Zártkörűen Működő Részvénytársaság contained the necessary legislative amendments for the transformation of the structure of the entire Hungarian film production. The essence of the new legislation was that, following its establishment, the National Film Institute Hungary (NFI) would be responsible for the coordinated activities of the entire Hungarian film industry. As mentioned above, the Magyar Nemzeti Filmalap, established in 2011, was one of the predecessors of the NFI, a Hungarian state organisation that provided support for the development, pre-production, production and distribution (marketing) of feature films, documentaries and animated films intended for cinema distribution. It also promoted the development of the Hungarian film community and the Hungarian film industry through its educational programme and events. In 2020, the application system for cinema and television productions was unified, and the National Film Institute Hungary (NFI) became the successor to the NMHH Média Mecenatúra program, the Televíziós Film Mecenatúra and the Televíziós Filmkollégium. Thus, the NFI also includes the application systems for television films, television series, educational films and short films. Structure of the organisation
