emblematic site of Hungarian film productions. It still works at the same place. The boom caused by World War I had a positive impact on Corvin Film. The film import ban boosted domestic demand for Hungarian films. Corvin's registered capital was increased to two and a half million korona in 1918 and then to eight million korona in 1919. In addition to the success in Hungary, Corvin's films were also successful on the international market. In parallel to his role as manager, Korda also directed at the studio. He directed one of the first Hungarian films to be shown abroad, White Nights. Way to talkies In 1919 Korda became a member of the Communist Directorate of Soviet Republic as the director of film productions, so after defeating the red terror, he had to flee Hungary. Subsequently, due to the dumping of American films, Hungarian films were increasingly overshadowed, with fewer and fewer films turning in the Corvin studio, and then, in 1922, the Corvin Film temporarily ceased production of films. In 1923, the factory was modernized and reorganized to become the third-largest studio in Central Europe, with a height of 18 meters and a floor area of 4x20 meters. However, as the economic conditions worsened, the factory went bankrupt in 1926. It was acquired by the Filmipari Alap in 1927 and later became one of the trustees of the future world-famous Hungarian talkies under the name Hunnia Filmgyár.
