The 23rd Verzió doesn’t end with the cinema screenings. Between November 26 and December 6, you can rent 50 films from the festival program online and watch them from anywhere in Hungary. Festival passes and film rentals are already available.

The online festival is a great opportunity for anyone who can’t make it to our screenings in Budapest or in eight other cities across Hungary. Still, if you can, we encourage you to come to the cinemas too: the post-screening discussions offer valuable insight into the films, you can meet the filmmakers behind more than 40 films in person, and you can join our community and music events.

Important! Before buying an online pass or renting films, please read the geographic and time restrictions and the technical requirements carefully on the How it works page. Films can only be watched from Hungary, within set time periods and on supported devices.

Prices

• Feature film rental: HUF 900
• Short film rental: HUF 450, or HUF 900 as a package
• DocFan pass: HUF 9,000, valid for all 50 films
• Supporter pass: HUF 25,000, for all 50 films. With this pass, you also support the nonprofit Verzió Film Foundation that organizes the festival, and we’ll send you a gift package of exclusive 23rd Verzió merchandise.

When and for how long can you watch?

• You can rent films and buy passes between November 10 and December 6, but playback only starts from November 26.
• Films are not screened at fixed times, you decide when to watch them.
• You have 14 days from rental to start playback.
• Once you start playback, you have 48 hours to watch or rewatch the film. This overrides the 14-day rental period. For example, if you start a film at 10:00 PM on December 6, you can watch it until 9:59 PM on December 8.
• You can check when your rentals expire in your library.
• In line with international practice, films can only be watched from Hungary (geo-blocking).

Why get a pass?
Besides the discounted price, a pass lets you watch or rewatch the films anytime between November 26 and December 20, as passes are not subject to the rental or playback windows.
