THIS FALL HAS MORE TO OFFER THAN THICK STEW
The 13th BUSHO Festival just ended when we fund ourselves in Karlovac, Croatia on the 4 River Film Festival and the preparation stage of the so called Finding Humanity youth program, on which the participants task is to make films about the topic of Human Rights. In the meanwhile we had to start the analysis of our festival as well as making the usual best-of-selection, which was on high demand by all the Hungarian institutes around the globe. Among others we received invitations from Tallin, Chicago and Sydney, so off the Hungarian shorts went to Flickerfest. Our insider colleague in Istanbul made preparations for our presentation next year. Then we set off to Amarante of Portugal for the youth exchange program with 6 Hungarians takig part in Ignite your skills. Parallel to this, many other international events were ongoing, and the enthusiastic BuSho team managed to present in almost all. In mid October Charlotte Symmons made a presentation in the 8th Pocity Film Festival in Presov, Slovakia. Teréz Koncz was part of the jury in Lvyv, Ukraine on the Wiz-Art Festival, also part of the Euroshort Festival Network. Her review is worth to read. Obviously we will make the 14th BuSho Festival entry platform available by beginning of December. Our projects for November are the a Rajzfilmünnep where a selection of Busho's animations will be showcased, then we will hold a presentation in Jerevan with Robert Maly on Rolan Bykov IVF Film Festival , on the way back we pop in to Bucharest Hungarian Film Week for BuSho being the guest of honour there. We need aslo to visit Oldenburg in Germany to finish our project of Ignite Your Skills where we ought to make 8 shorts about key competencies. Last but not least a female selection will close the year for the next year debutant Porto Femme International Film Festival.
