The Csapnivalo
Awards first took place in January 2000. The goal
of this Award is to honor the best movies shown in Hungary in the previous
year. The winners of the Csapnivalo Awards are selected on the basis of
the nominations by the Csapnivalo's editors and by the votes of public
movie-goers.
We
hope that this award can add a lot to Hungarian culture as besides Golden
Globe the Academy Award now we have a local source that allows us to make
a a note how much we like the movies that we've just seen. Box Office success
that the movies made here must be an indicator of a motion picture's being
popular too but it's not a 100% about aesthetics and it won't necessarily
tell all that a movie can mean to people.
So
the thought was to give some free space to this matter and let "local"
critics in association with "local" movie-goers (we all) see "how much
we liked 'em" - the movies of the previous year.
By
the presence of this simple award we wish to highlight that movies shown
and seen here and not only about private leisure time (for many) but also
about the movies that we've seen - we mean our culture that we live in.
In
short: finally we local audiences and critics came even to the movies that
we see, since from now it's not just the (great) movies that have their
opinions about us (how much they made here) but vice versa we can talk
back - "how much we liked 'em" .
The
next Csapnivalo Awards is going to happen same time next year, January
21.
