András Bőhm (*1953) is a Hungarian film producer, whose career spans over four decades. Born to Holocaust survivors, he remains a committed member of the Jewish community, notably active at the Dohány Street Synagogue in Budapest. He started as a movie maker in the 1970s, quickly establishing himself through collaborations with Hungary’s most acclaimed directors, including Miklós Jancsó, Károly Makk, and Márta Mészáros. His work reflects a deep engagement with both artistic excellence and cultural heritage. Following the political transition of the early 1990s, Bőhm played a key role in reshaping the Hungarian film industry, advocating for structural reform and creative renewal. His recent documentary on Rabbi Sándor Scheiber - mentor to a new generation of Hungarian rabbis - stands as a testament to his enduring commitment to cultural memory and cinematic storytelling.

At the 57th film festival Visions du Réel in Nyon the Interreligious Jury has awarded its Prize to the documentary "Dentro" by Elsa Amiel.
Following the promising nominations, the Oscar ceremony felt like a disappointment. For the first time, the Academy had nominated international films such as “Sentimental Value” from Norway and “Secret Agent” from Brazil in the Best Picture category. Yet in the end, it was American productions that walked away with all the awards.
