Dear Simon,
There are many Hungarian films about different aspects of 1956.
Here some characteristic titles (based on my memory):
Peter Gardos: "Szamarkohoges" (Whooping cough)
Ferenc Kosa: "A masik ember" (The Other man)
Geza Beremenyi: "Eldorado"
Florian Goczan: "Oly tavol, messze van hazam" (My home is so far ...)
For more information you can try this journal:

Best wishes,
Laszlo Ropolyi
