Corvin Film Studio

[1] The place of incorporation was in the city of Kolozsvár (Cluj in Romanian; Klausenburg in German) the so-called capital of Transylvania.

[4][5] He had been working there among others with Michael Curtiz (Kertész Mihály) the future Academy Awards director,[6] the famous The Exile (A tolonc) silent film[7] was made by them.

In 1916, Janovics became independent of Projectograph[8] setting up his new Corvin Film Studio in Kolozsvár.

[10] Janovics's production program concentrated largely on adaptations of popular and classic Hungarian literature.

They exclusively contracted several stars of the age, including Arthur Somlay, Oszkár Beregi and Mihály Várkonyi.

The boom caused by World War I had a positive impact on Corvin Film.

[21] It was acquired by the Filmipari Alap in 1927[22] and later became one of the trustees of the future world-famous Hungarian talkies under the name Hunnia Filmgyár.
