11. BUSHO: THE FINISH STARTS!
It is almost unbelievable, but it’s true: in the new online sending system – where the red x automatically turns into a green check mark, if someone submitted their copy for screening – we received the competition and infoblock films, without exception, on the deadline! But unfortunately we cannot say the same thing about the hungarians. We are trying to reach everyone in order to receive everything in time, because as the old latin proverb says, patience is a virtue. And who knows, maybe they are currently attending a competition called „Who can stay underwater for the longest period of time?” in the lake Balaton... And we certainly hope that they will not miss the Show. So, take a look at the scheduled blocks of every section (except for the late ones), with the exact time and place of the screening.
We wouldn’t like to say everything according to this year’s festival, we will do it on the last weekend of august (as always), until then here’s a „sneak peek” about it. Besides the usual 3 main prizes, 7 category awards and 2 special awards, we will give new prizes as well! Thanks to the Media Council, we will give very valuable awards for the best hungarian fiction and animation short films! The Sziget Ltd. offered weekly passes for the festival, for a group of three people with stage pass filming permits for next year, 2016; and the american InkTyp script development awards.
Besides the usual competition programme, information blocks, and hungarian panorama screenings, we will have many more interesting activities: concerts and other programmes, and for the fifth time in Hungary, only on BuSho festival: the European Film Academy’s films will be screened as well! Furthermore, besides the usual section called „IVF 4 seasons in 4 days” - thanks to the Visegrád Fund, our main sponsor - and the presentation of Hamburg Media school, for the first time we will present an international documentary collection, collected by Simonyi Balázs, our specialist.
Some of the accredited guests are from Taiwan and Israel, but there are Italian, German, Austrian, Estonian, French, Slovakian and Czeh creators who wanted to participate. So we will have an amazing festival atmosphere during the first week of September, in Puskin Cinema, on Rooftop Cinema Corvintető and of course on our national and international locations, even beyond the borders of Hungary!
