Sources: 4. Developments: 2. The University of Theatre and Film Arts (SZFE) is undergoing a significant leadership and governance transition. Following a decision by Minister of Education and Children's Affairs Judit Lannert, new members were appointed to the foundation’s curatorium. Film scholar András Bálint Kovács was named president of the curatorium, with the board including figures such as László Upor, Zoltán Imely, Gábor Dániel, and Dr. Éva Jeney Zoltánné. Following these structural changes, SZFE rector Enikő Sepsi announced her intention to resign to allow for an “orderly leadership transition.” This decision follows recent legislation granting the Minister of Education and Children's Affairs founder rights to appoint board members for the university’s managing foundation. The shift in governance follows previous controversies regarding the legitimacy of the university senate and demands for management changes from students and faculty. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-07: University of Theatre and Film Arts rector Enikő Sepsi announces resignation Enikő Sepsi, rector of the University of Theatre and Film Arts (SZFE), has announced her intention to step down to allow for an orderly leadership transition. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/university-of-theatre-and-film-arts-rector-enik-sepsi-announces-resignation ### 2026-09-02: University of Theatre and Film Arts appoints new curatorium members New members, including film scholar András Bálint Kovács and dramaturg László Upor, have been appointed to the University of Theatre and Film Arts (SZFE) curatorium by Minister Judit Lannert. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/university-of-theatre-and-film-arts-appoints-new-curatorium-members --- Cite as: University of Theatre and Film Arts governance changes.
