Eurocine 2026 - HUNGEXPO
Eurocine 2026

This new film industry exhibition fills a gap in Hungary and the region.

The choice of location is no coincidence: as one of Europe’s leading film centers, Budapest offers an ideal home for the event on an international level, while also creating a new professional platform for the film industry.

Eurocine is the European venue where films, ideas, and innovation come together, as it goes beyond the boundaries of cinema to include moving image formats, television, and new screen technologies.

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE:

  • Producers and directors
  • Cinematographers and camera crews
  • Electricians and grip crew
  • EQ rental companies and innovation workshops
  • Post-production and VFX specialists
  • Institutional representatives of film industry
  • Production specialists
  • Studio and location representatives

  • Students and emerging talents

Eurocine will hold its fifth edition on May 8-9, 2026,
for the first time in Budapest, at the Hungexpo Exhibition Center.

Every area from production to post-production is represented, making the event a B2B platform specifically for film professionals: it provides an opportunity for representatives of production, post-production, technology providers, distributors, and industry partners to meet in person, build business relationships and form new collaborations.

The 2026 event will welcome visitors with a two-day program featuring seminars, lectures, panel discussions, and master classes. Eurocine is responsible for putting together the professional program of the event.

Focus on the symposium

The content of the 2026 professional presentations will be announced closer to the date of the event, but some topics are already known:

     • Lighting masterclasses
     • Presentations of lenses, cameras, and lighting products
     • Virtual production
     • The impact of AI on the film industry
     • Career management

New elements will also be integrated into the event, such as a career expo with domestic and regional schools, networking events, and presentations aimed at helping those starting their careers, adding variety to the event’s program.

Screenings and exhibition hall

In addition to the symposium, Eurocine also offers film screenings where the audience has the opportunity to ask questions directly to the filmmakers. In the exhibition hall, visitors can try out the latest cameras, lighting, recording, and post-production equipment.

The HUNGEXPO Budapest Congress and Exhibition Centre is Hungary’s largest and most modern exhibition and event venue, serving both domestic and international professional events for several decades. Spanning approximately 36 hectares, with 7 pavilions, a fully equipped Congress Centre, and exceptionally flexible infrastructure, it provides an ideal location for exhibitions that attract large audiences and require high-level technical solutions.

In addition to exhibitions, one of HUNGEXPO’s unique strengths is that in recent years it has also become a popular location for the international film industry. Its diverse architectural features, large interior spaces, office buildings and outdoor areas are frequently used as filming locations—numerous major Hungarian and international productions have chosen HUNGEXPO as a partial or full production base.

These characteristics make HUNGEXPO the perfect home for the Eurocine Budapest 2026 exhibition as well. The strong demand for film production infrastructure, the continuous presence of international productions, and the professional event environment together create a setting that authentically and effectively supports all sectors of the film industry—whether technology partners, service providers, or creative professionals. HUNGEXPO is more than an exhibition venue: it is a complex that naturally connects to film production, making it an ideal platform for the most important new B2B event of the film industry.
