MAFILM opens rebuilt sound stage with double capacity
23 November 2009 By Dávid Dercsényi
Two years after a fire total destroyed its biggest sound stage, MAFILM has opened the rebuilt facility.

In 2007 the fire swept through the Huszárik sound stage in the studio of MAFILM (http://mafilm.hu/hu/index.html)  in Fót, near Budapest. Reconstruction work started in early 2009. MAFILM, the traditional state-owned filmstudio, financed the work from its own resources, combining European grants and loan. The total cost was EUR 7.3 million (HUF 511 million).

The extension of the new sound stage is double than the old one: 2000 m2 (48 x 37 m, 15 m tall) , soundproof,  and suitable for original sound recording. The newly opened Huszárik sound stage completes the complex of MAFILM: the studio can provide wide range service for the productions as different technical devices, sets, props, along with sound studios and pyrotechnic experts of world wide renown.

FNE Ambassador for Poland

"For me its very very useful, I receive and read it every day. It is very useful to know what's going on in the region and it was previously an undiscovered area. FNE is doing a very good job. FNE informs us about not only film but also TV and production. Very often I am using some subjects from FNE in my TV programme"
