Verzió International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival

Verzió International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival presents creative documentaries on human rights and pressing social issues. It takes place in Budapest every November, with screenings in other Hungarian cities and online through its streaming platform, Verziótheque. The programme includes Hungarian and international competitions, and screenings come with Q&As and panel discussions.

Zsuzsa Zádori, Andrea Pócsik and Oksana Sarkisova founded the festival in 2004 with the support of the OSA Archivum; since 2005 it has been co-organised by the Verzió Film Foundation and the Blinken OSA Archivum. Its professional programmes include Verzió DocLab, a development workshop for directors of first or second feature documentaries that ends with a pitch forum, and the Young Critics workshop. Verzió is a member of the Human Rights Film Network and the Doc Around Europe network. The dates for the 23rd edition are 16–25 November 2026, in Budapest and eight other cities across Hungary.
