The Grand Prize - Adolf Zukor Award went to the Hungarian film Six Weeks / Hat hét directed by Noémi Veronika Szakonyi.
At the closing ceremony, the festival director Tibor Bíró emphasised that “all the films in the festival’s competition programme were Hungarian premieres”.
Moreover, the festival wrapped with the Hungarian premiere of Ordinary Failures / Hétköznapi kudarcok by Cristina Grosan, a Czech/Slovak/Hungarian/Italian coproduction that screened out of competition. The film produced by Xova Film and coproduced by Rosamont, Laokoon Filmgroup, Super film and the Czech Television, in collaboration with ARTE G.E.I.E., arrived in Miskolc right after its world premiere in the Venice Days section at the Venice Film Festival 2022.
