The Veszprém‑Balaton Filmpiknik, a three‑day Hungarian film festival, was revived for August 2026. Scheduled for 27–29 August, the event will take place in the twin host cities of Veszprém and Balatonfüred. Around sixty feature, documentary, short and animated films—including several premieres—will be screened. Actress and producer Andrea Osvárt has been appointed as the festival’s host.

In addition to film screenings, the programme will feature audience meetings, concerts, children’s activities, and outdoor events. A series of panels and round‑table discussions will address industry power dynamics, harassment, psychological safety, cross‑border communication, workplace safety, and the future of the National Film Institute. Tributes are planned for notable Hungarian cinema figures such as Latinovits Zoltán, Tarr Béla and Herskó János.
