Match Frame Productions is a film production company based in Budapest, focusing on socially relevant creative documentaries and short films. Noémi Veronika Szakonyi and Máté Artur Vincze founded the company at the end of 2014 in order to support and provide a background for young Hungarian documentary filmmakers. They have graduated from the first documentary directing MA course in Hungary where they started to develop projects together with their classmates.
In the first two years they received funding from the Hungarian Media Patronage Program and the National Cultural Fund of Hungary. They produced two television documentaries, short fiction films and short documentaries, which premiered at festivals like Sheffield Doc/Fest, Reykjavík International Film Festival or DocLisboa. Their television documentaries (Condemned to Live and Burdened by the Past) were broadcasted in neighboring countries and premiered at international festivals (VERZIO International Human Rights Documentary Film Festival and Chagrin Documentary Film Festival). The first feature-length documentary they co-produced with HBO Europe and Campfilm is Her Mothers (dir: Asia Der, Sari Haragonics), which premiered at Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival in 2020.
