CineNewWave
True to the traditions of the festival, we created a competition program called CineNewWawe, designed specifically for Hungarian novice artists. In the program we screen short feature and short animated films. The aim of the program was to introduce the young Hungarian directing talents to the film-loving audience of the festival. Since Our main goal has been to discover new talents, who are worth following on the long run.

CineDocs
In response to international trends, the festival created the CineDocs section in 2019 that showcases creative documentaries. Like fiction films, creative documentaries apply all cinematic tools – creative editing, music, dramaturgy, composition – to give birth to a catharsis of the same magnitude as that of fiction films. Many times, the impact of a creative documentary can be even stronger, as it is based on real events.
