The Academy of Drama and Film in Budapest (Hungarian: Színház- és Filmművészeti Egyetem, SZFE) is an educational institution founded in 1865 in Budapest, Hungary. It became a university in 2000 and the name was changed to University of Theatre and Film Arts.[2]
On 31 August 2020, the university's management resigned in protest at the imposition of a government-appointed board of trustees which they saw as limiting the university's autonomous status.[3] A group of students took over the school building in protest and barricaded themselves inside.[4] Several artists signed an open letter in defense of the autonomy of the school.[5]
In 2021, the University announced that it's film institute would operate under the name Zsigmond Vilmos Institute for Motion Picture, housed in a building on Szentkirályi Street within the former Duna Television headquarters in Buda. It's theater institute, renamed the Sinkovits Imre Institute for the Theatrical Arts, and theoretical studies institute, renamed the Antal Németh Institute of Drama Theory, are housed in the former Károlyi Palace on Szentkirályi Street and Rákóczi Street.[6]
