Very good news: Rimóczi László (Lezmuvek-Decadent Freehand www.lezmuvek.hu -  entrant for the 1. BuSho) won Nisimasa international screenplay-writers’ competition (nisimasa.imingo.net) together with Csukor Sonja! Nighttime Visitors won from 400 screenplay-plans. In addition to the subsidy put at Laci’s disposal for the shooting of Nighttime Visitors they can take part of a screenplay-writer workshop at Moulin d’Andé at the end of January and of the following deservedly famous Short Film Festival of Clermont-Ferrand. Of course with many-many BuSho handouts...

The Society of BuSho Moving Birds decided to leave Kinizsi. As we had 5-6 offers of possible scenes, we took our satchels and took a look at them! I intentionally do not specify these possibilities: I do not want our public to brood about the chances. After a long consideration, analysis of pros and contras we decided that the new scene is the Cultural Centre of Almássy Square. (1077. Bp. Almássy Squre 6.)

Walking on water. The Faludi Ferenc Academy is happy to announce its 11th international film competition and festival. The competitors are expected to treat the above topic in the form of a short feature film, experimental film, or documentary. We are expecting works with professional demands and completion, which are, at the same time, suitable for providing a orum for the dialogue between different opinions.

Brno after the BuSho
Gergely Zoltán’s Superwash has won the prize Petr Hvizd of the most talented youngster at The Brno International Short Film Festival.
This year there were 9 Hungarian producions at Brno-7 of them were presented at BuSho, too. (Except these 7 foreign productions were projected at Kultiplex.) The Chinese Take Away of Felix Blinder (student of Hamburg Media School) has won silver medals this year: he was given silver medal at Brno, too.
The gold medal of the unprofessional category went to Ferenczik Áron (for knife, folk, spoon). Two other Ferenczik films were in competition: Noon and 3 walls.
Absence of Ákos Mester (outlined by the International jury of BuSho) eas presented at Brno, too. (Ákos himself was there, too. We can soon read his writing about his festival experiences.)
Three other Hamburg films which got special prizes at BuSho were projected at Brno, too: Marc Brummond’s Kühe Schubsen; Claudia Lehmann’s Elsas Geburstag; and Alex Schmidt’s Dow Jane Index.
Other BUSHO films at Brno:
V. Nagy Attila: Strip-tease
Nimmerfroh Katalin: I closed my eyes and loved
Graeme Coole: A Case of Making The Knife Fit The Wound (U.K.)
Marko Cafnik: Does It Hurt? (Slovenia)

The first trip of Busho to abroad was to the Slovenian Krsko (we were invited by the last year’s BuSho partecipant Petra Jagric) where we could be part of an international film camp and a contact making seminar! Our presentation contained exclusively Hungarian pieces and it was a great success. We gained many new contacts and relationships, and we ascertained: the Slovenians truly outrivaled us by light-years...

The jury consultation is just about to start now. We played fly on the wall and it seemed that they dissect each film. "To me it was not understandable if the old lady gave the title or the idea"...so said a jury member.

The deadline for entries was June 4th 2006.
The number of the entries arrived to the second Busho Short Film Festival was almost twice as much than last year. This caused some difficulties to the pre-jury...
The 100 films which in fine got the possibility to be presented at the Festival last cca. 15 hours and they surely will cause serious headache to the international jury, because they are so excellent that it won’t be easy to choose the films that will get the awards of the international parade at the end. You can find the complete list on Busho 2006 schedule site.
