The 56/70 Film Festival opened at Budapest's Corvin Cinema on 16 October and runs until 18 October, marking the 70th anniversary of the 1956 Revolution with films and discussions. The venue itself is significant: Corvin Passage was a central site of the uprising.
Conversation after the film
The official programme combines documentaries and features with filmmaker Q&As and discussions involving historians and invited experts. It is not only a screening series: it creates room for interpretation, contested memory and intergenerational dialogue.
The festival is already under way but remains open until 18 October. Capacity varies, so visitors should check the official programme and ticket page before travelling.

Business perspective
Museums, publishers, educators, tourism organisations and film professionals can contribute through subtitles, archive access, moderated talks and school programmes. Sponsorship must respect the gravity of commemoration.
