HSC is going to give this prize now to four world-famous professional: György Illés, László Kovács, János Tóth and Vilmos Zsigmond.

For this year's festival the HSC prepares a list of those 12 films, which they consider from professional point of view outstanding, epoch-making cinematographic work in the Hungarian film production. They would like the 12 films to be on show throughout a countrywide campaign thus making the films even more popular - learned the colleague of MTI at the Tuesday press conference.
