<\/strong><\/p>\nCulture is a basic human right!<\/p>\n
Hungarian film and motion picture is an integral part of European culture.<\/p>\n
Hungarian films talk about Hungarian people and Hungarian life in Hungarian, in an original and unique way. These works of art using a peculiar, different and autonomous artistic language inform the world about our country, our fate.<\/p>\n
To ruin that is to destroy culture!<\/p>\n
This cannot be justified by utilitarianism, a misconstruction of economic situation, political intent or subjective opinion!<\/p>\n
The Hungarian government has decided that instead of the democratic self-government structure that has guaranteed the plurality of Hungarian film so far, they will introduce a single-person decision-making system.<\/p>\n
It is our view that this decision endangers the hitherto varied nature of Hungarian film.<\/p>\n
We, Hungarian filmmakers, who intend to continue to be committed and true to our vocation, and would like to continue working according to the best of our abilities and our convictions, with responsibility and honor, ask everyone to support the survival of the polyphony of Hungarian film!<\/p>\n
Budapest, January 10, 2011.<\/p>\n
