Although the previous years of CinePécs International Film Festival were considered successful, the economy crisis had its effect on us.
It is well known in European film industry, the Hungarian film supporting system had been changed. Due to this changes the supporting system had been blocked for a while. It caused so hugh late in the preparation and financials which made the Festival wait for one year.
The Festival will be held next time on 2012 october.
Thank you very much for your understandings, and wait you back in 2012.

Storyteller: Mari Törőcsik, Actress of the National, awarded with Kossuth and Jászai Prize. CinePécs opening performance: Uránia Cinema, October 4, 19:00.

„Alexander Csoma de Körös, the most curious Hungarian set on a journey to Asia, some time in the beginning of the 19th century in order to find the Hungarians still living there. What happened to him during this long trip? Whatever might have been, the thousand adventures, the many experience was lost in time. A scholar-artist-traveler team has recalled the adventures of this odd journey and venturesome soul by its own means: Tibor Szemző has travelled it, Szaladják Taikyo shot it on camera, Gábor Roskó made drawings of it, Mari Törőcsik „retells” it – as the heroic deeds of Csoma were revived in Székely legends and the fantasies of László Sári, Tibetologian.
The „plot” of the opera comes to life on huge silver screen, simultaneously, the inner voice of Csoma and the fascinating stories about him would be told in perfect concord with the screening by the author’s musical company (singers, musicians, and the storyteller). The film version of the opera, ’A Guest of Life’ was made between 2002 and 200.
