Rövidfilm

Rövidfilm is the Hungarian word for short film. It refers to a motion picture that has a runtime shorter than typically feature-length films, generally considered to be under 40 minutes. Short films can encompass a wide variety of genres and styles, from animation and documentary to drama and experimental works. They are often a starting point for emerging filmmakers to showcase their talent and explore new ideas, serving as a testing ground before committing to longer projects. Many film festivals worldwide dedicate specific sections or entire events to short films, providing a platform for distribution and recognition. Historically, short films played a significant role in the early development of cinema, often shown as accompanyments to feature films or as standalone entertainment. Today, they continue to be a vibrant and diverse form of cinematic expression, accessible through festivals, online platforms, and television.
