ACTUAL RECAP: HUNGARY 30% FILM REBATE 2026

Hungary’s 30% film rebate remains active and internationally competitive. For 2026, the government has confirmed a HUF 70 billion annual collection account and a HUF 140 billion registration cap for the first half of the year. A second-half cap is expected around June 2026. The system is still highly attractive, but timing has become more sensitive, so productions should prepare a ready-to-file structure as early as possible.

From a producer’s perspective, the best strategy now is to bring the project to a ready-to-file stage as soon as possible. This means having the Hungarian producer or service producer in place, together with a structured budget, production schedule, financing plan, ATL/BTL breakdown, spending structure, cultural test, and an audit-proof contractual background. Productions that only start preparing once the second-half cap is announced may easily find themselves too late in the process.

TRAILER DEBUT: Beyond Arizona

Beyond Arizona is the first documentary co-production from FilmCafe Studio and Abroad Films. It follows Hungarian ultratrail runner Gergő Medgyessy through the Arizona Monster: 300 miles of Sonoran Desert, from Superior to the Mexican border. He's chased by something that has nothing to do with the race. So is everyone else on that trail. Of 300 starters, 199 crossed the finish line, but finishing was never the whole point.

And an extra treat: the song 'Sermon' from the official score is now available on all major streaming platforms. Built around one of America's oldest gospel songs (known as Run On or God Gonna Cut You Down), our composer Botond Őri Kiss went back to the original roots, weaving pulsing electronic bass with cimbalom (Gergely Kerékgyártó) and authentic Hungarian folk elements. Vocals by the amazing Nina Sára Horváth, master by Gábor Földes.
