Out of Competition - Documentary

The Hungarian Playbook

By Bence Máté & Áron Szentpéteri

During the 2022 election campaign in Hungary, Viktor Orbán enjoys unprecedented media support. "The Hungarian Playbook" denounces the State propaganda and its control over the Hungarian media. Using exclusive footage and documents taken directly from the headquarters of the State media, Bence Máté and Áron Szentpéteri reveal how the Prime Minister's office controls 80% of the media market. A hard-hitting film that questions the authoritarianism of some governments in the European Union and attacks on press freedom.
