Budapest Twelve
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Budapest Twelve is a list of 12 Hungarian films considered the best from the period between 1948 and 1968. The films were chosen in secret ballot of the Hungarian film industry in 1968.
The International Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI) held its annual conference in Budapest in 1968, the year that marked the 20th anniversary of the nationalization of the Hungarian film industry. On this occasion, the department of film critics of the Alliance of Hungarian Filmmakers choose the best 12 films in a secret ballot. The films were screened at the 4th Hungarian Film Week and one year later aired on the Hungarian Public Television.[1]
