After a great first FLEX meetup with 13 filmmakers and creatives, we’re organizing the second gathering. 🤩FLEX is a small, open meetup for internationally minded filmmakers and creatives in Budapest.
The first evening brought together directors, writers, actors, editors, cameraman, sound designers and beginners, with participants from several countries.
The goal is simple: to create a relaxed space where people interested in filmmaking can meet, exchange ideas, and potentially collaborate on future projects.
This is not a screening event and not a pitch competition — just a place to meet other filmmakers and talk about films and projects.
👋 Who is this for?
Whether you:
– already make films
– are between film projects
– are just starting out
– or are a local filmmaker curious about the international scene
you’re welcome.
🕒 Format (approx. 2 hours)
• Short introduction to FLEX
• Structured round of participant introductions (equal time for everyone)
• Optional sharing of works-in-progress / short clips
• Open mingling and networking at the end

🙋♂️ About the organizer
I’m László Lenhardt, a short filmmaker, writer, and director based in Budapest. I’ve worked on 3D animated feature films in Hungary and abroad, and I’ve also written and directed live-action short films that have screened at international film festivals.
After working in different countries and film environments, I wanted to create a simple, open space where filmmakers could meet, exchange ideas, and talk about projects.
FLEX grew out of that idea.
Many of us come from different countries — curiosity and openness matter more than where you’re from.
