The MEDIA support is sought to provide a funding opportunity for the 11th edition of the Jameson Cinefest – Miskolc International Film Festival. We are proud to say that each year we organize one the biggest film festival dedicated for young audience in the Central and Eastern European region. This also means that our festival is the largest one, in every aspect, in Hungary. During the ten day event we expect to screen close to 200 films at three main and several other satellite locations, and would like to welcome around 25,000 guests in Miskolc. Our aims include providing opportunities for young filmmakers, as we screen 138 films during the competition. We would also like to improve our audience numbers, which we implement gradually as the number of participants is increasing by 1,500 persons at an average rate year on. Another important goal for us is to educate the audience through film literacy events such as workshops and master courses. Out of the same reason we emphasize the improvement of young audience’s knowledge about the European film heritage. To achieve this we organize retrospective screenings and the Cine Classics events, and screen films at many elementary and high schools. The competition targets young filmmakers and encourage them to present their works where they compete with each other. Therefore the festival fills a gap in the list of film festivals of the region. Competition categories are the following: Long Feature Films, Short Feature and Experimental Films, Animations and Documentaries. Today it is the biggest Hungarian international film festival, which grew from 5.000 guests in the year of its inception, in 2004 to nearly 24.000 visitors in 2013. The number of private and public sponsors, supporters and professional partners has been increasing, just as the number of attending professionals. We expect that the current edition of the festival will bring the same popularity to our audience.
