One year ago, ten leading film industry organizations jointly decided to establish professional film awards with the aim of recognizing value-creating figures of Hungarian cinema solely on a professional basis. These awards are to be presented annually on April 30, the Day of Hungarian Film. The Fábri Zoltán Lifetime Achievement Award, the Gyarmathy Lívia Award for Excellence in Film Art, the Bódy Gábor Award, the Létay Vera Film Professional Award, as well as a posthumous professional recognition, were presented at a ceremony held at the FilmesHáz Foundation.
Enikő Gyureskó, Festival Director of Verzió, received the Létay Vera Award in recognition of her outstanding professional contribution to Hungarian moving image culture.
