Gundel Restaurant\u2019s film showcasing sign language communication came second at one of the world\u2019s most prestigious short film festivals. The 3 Minute Film Festival in Santa Barbara celebrates the creativity and message of three-minute films and is highly regarded amongst filmmakers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, 12 films from five countries (England, India, the United States, Hungary and Turkey) were shortlisted for the \u201eNarrative\u201d category \u2013 that is, for the competition programme \u2013 with the Gundel film representing Hungary. It is a huge success that the short film *Gundel Belongs to Everyone* came within a hair\u2019s breadth of winning the festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the team of acclaimed film director P\u00e9ter Bergendy, the film *Gundel*, which premiered in March this year, not only focuses on the commitment to CSR of Hungary\u2019s most famous restaurant, but also conveys a profound message about the importance of inclusivity. As part of this, staff members learnt the most essential signs in both English and Hungarian, whilst a Braille menu was produced for visually impaired guests. Alongside its legendary hospitality, social responsibility and sensitivity have always been part of Gundel\u2019s core values and have shaped the attitude of its staff, which is also evident in the care shown towards guests with visual and hearing impairments. This further reinforces the staff\u2019s conviction that Gundel belongs to everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jen\u0151 Magyary, managing director of Gundel, said of this success: \u201eIt is a great honour for us that our film has been selected for the 3 Minute Film Festival programme. To ultimately feature in the Top 3 amongst such illustrious company is a source of immense joy for the entire Gundel team and all our partners who have supported us in this endeavour. We would like to take this opportunity to express our immense gratitude to the dedicated Gundel team, our group of companies responsible for operating Gundel, the Eventrend Group, P\u00e9ter Bergendy\u2019s team, who work with such refined sensitivity, and the experts at SINOSZ (National Association of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing), who have enthusiastically helped us learn sign language. This recognition only serves to reinforce our commitment and further encourages us to make Gundel\u2019s hospitality accessible to everyone.\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
