# Oversight and restructuring of Hungarian arts institutions > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/oversight-and-restructuring-of-hungarian-arts-institutions > Updated: 2026-09-08T20:06:50.000Z. Sources: 4. Developments: 2. Investigations into Hungarian cultural institutions have revealed systemic management and oversight issues. At the National Institute for Theatre and Film Arts (OSZMI), professional oversight reports identified a decline in skilled personnel, failures in collection protection, and inadequate storage facilities for long-term preservation. These findings led to recommendations for reviewing the leadership competence of Director Géza Bodolay. Parallel developments at the University of Theatre and Film Arts (SZFE) involve significant structural changes and leadership turnover. Rector Enikő Sipos has initiated negotiations to end her term, while a new board of trustees has been appointed to the university’s operating foundation, with András Bálint Kovács replacing Attila Vidnyánszky as president. These changes have drawn criticism from faculty and professionals, such as actor György Cserhalmi, who have raised concerns regarding the legitimacy of the selection process and characterized the restructuring as a political takeover. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-08: University of Theatre and Film Arts faces leadership overhaul and criticism Actor György Cserhalmi criticized cultural policy changes and leadership shifts at the University of Theatre and Film Arts, comparing the restructuring to past political maneuvers. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/university-of-theatre-and-film-arts-faces-leadership-overhaul-and-criticism ### 2026-08-15: National Institute for Theatre and Film Arts faces serious oversight findings Investigations at Hungary's National Institute for Theatre and Film Arts revealed serious issues in management, staff numbers, and artifact storage, prompting calls to review the director's competence. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/national-institute-for-theatre-and-film-arts-faces-serious-oversight-findings --- Cite as: Oversight and restructuring of Hungarian arts institutions.
