Budapest Movie Awards is Film Festival and Music Video Festival with live screenings in Budapest, in Hungary. Our mission and goal is to discover and promote talented filmmakers from all over the world and present them to the public and therefore is our festival is a brilliant opportunity to participate in international competition.
FilmFreeway has ranked our film festival, the Budapest Movie Awards, among the TOP5 THE MOST POPULAR FILM FESTIVALS in Hungary.
The first year was held under the name Budapest Movie Awards. The best hungarian films and music video selected will be screened at the Art Cinema Budapest, April 2023.
The moment the atmospheric and sensual music and the visual side are combined with the use of film elements, an artistically valuable music video can be created. Our goal is to create a place where Budapest culture will connect with the music industry, where we will present the best music videos.
Spike Jonze, Gore Verbinski, and many other amazing directors even got their start in music videos. We want to find the next great creator, the next great musician, and the next great music video.
Combining image with music creates the long-awaited "integral cinema" that adds another dimension and power to visual messages. At the same time, it gives the second life music itself, which allows us to visualize images inspired by melodies, which are often lost in the subconscious.
As one of the youngest genres in the film industry, it is a video clip, an audiovisual work whose sound component is the whole or substantially a record of the artistic performance of a musical work.
We project the best super short film, short film and feature film and you can visit the city Budapest and get to know our culture. Budapest is a beautiful city with a wonderful culture and amazing nightlife.
The best film, screenplay and music video will be nominated for the main prize at the Golden Art Film Academy (GAFA), which will redistribute $ 5,000.00 annually which they will receive in the form of various movie rewards.
