Change language:
A new thematic TV channel broadcasting only Hungarian films was added to the television programme offer in Hungary. Magyar Mozi TV (Hungarian Cinema TV) started broadcasting on Wednesday 1 March at 1 PM with the drama The Count of Fools. DIGI and Vodafone Hungary will test the newly launched channel over the next 3 months.
As the name suggests, Magyar Mozi TV will broadcast Hungarian-produced programmes. Its offerings range from popular TV series to classics and the latest films. Besides feature films, the channel also plans to show Hungarian short films, documentaries and animations. According to Index, theatre fans will also find programmes to their liking, as there will also be theatre broadcasts on Magyar Mozi TV.
New TV programme to make Hungarian films widely known
The channel is launched by Tematic Media Group. “Their mission is to provide a platform for Hungarian films in the making and to enable filmmakers to make their work widely known,” the company said in a statement.
“Quality and entertainment are the main criteria when it comes to the programme. We want to bring to the audience the many excellent films that have been made over the past decades but are not widely seen on other channels. At the same time, we consider it equally important to show contemporary works. In today’s infinitely divided world, we here at Magyar Mozi TV want to show what connects us all,” said Márta Kertész, the channel’s editor-in-chief.
