Summary
We’re in Budapest to find out how Hungary – once a Soviet satellite state – is now one of the world’s top film destinations, with movie-makers seduced by the central European country's generous tax breaks and incentives.
Academy Award nominees this year, The Brutalist and Dune 2, were filmed here – plus 2024 Oscar winner, Poor Things.
