List Of Hungarian Films 1901–1947
This is a list collecting the most notable films produced in Hungary and in the Hungarian language during 1901–1948. While the first years of the Hungarian cinema were in its infancy with mostly experimental films and short comedic sketches mostly conducted by enterprising hobbyists, by 1940 a large industry grew out of their footsteps, with famed film star idols and film studios. After World War II, a different kind of purpose found its way to movie making: full-length movies began to be used for political purposes.
