THE DETAILED SCHEDULE OF THE FESTIVAL IS READY

Busho 2007 program

The number of shorts entered to the festival has been doubled again this year -just as in 2006, so we have 360 films- a number not negligible even at an international rate. These 70 hours of motion picture caused some difficulties to the pre-jury, but they heightened the nivo of the festival at the same time. The 116 films of the competition program have been put into 22 blocks which cover all 4 days of the festival - setting a hard task to the international jury. See the schedule

Kelj fel Laci

After last year’s aid concert, we would like to continue the series, and give a helping hand to our excellent friend, Papp Gábor, who helped us: composed, and played music to our films. But then he didn’t even know about a disease called Multiple Sclerosis...

THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN FLARED

film.hu

The final competition program of the 3. BuSho festival is finally born! The pre-jury (Mag-Rimóczi-Ganczer) worked hardly for more than a week, watched 350 films (60 hours) and made its all-time hardest final decision. The number of the entered films has been the double of those of 2006. Unfortunately the competition program has scarce time, so we created a new category: outlined information blocks in honour of the many excellent films.

Parade awards related to BUSHO:

Filmszemle

- The prize of the best director at the 38. Hungarian Film Parade was given to Szász János for Opium- diary of an insane woman. We assume that the idea of the film was busted from the brain of the director when he wakened from his extasy after the viewing of Ballads of Szexard...
- The award of best actress was given to Kovács Kata for her performance in Kythera - probably her success is caused partly by the positive aura of a certain side-acting football hooligan...
- Certificate of merit: Igor and Ivan Buharov for " Slow Mirror" - because we like the films dancing on the edge of the razor which divide the public opinion...
- The prize of best camera-man of the jury of the shorts:  was got by the cameraman of Alterego, Tóth Widamon Máté. This autumn the flat interiors are going to have great role even in our lives...

"Master" riddle: what's that?

Maestro

It was present at various festivals 83 times, got 40 prizes and now it has an Oscar nomination. The solution is: MAESTRO.
The animated short film lasting almost 5 minutes of M. Tóth Géza was chosen among the best 5 by the American Film Academy. After 26 years when Ferenc Rófusz won an Oscar with his animated cartoon entitled The fly now the director teaching at the faculty of animation of the University of Handicrafts got really close to the possibility of getting the golden statuette.
 The story of the "Maestro" – a kind, committed artist - and of his precise and humorous helpmate leads us to a special world both visually and emotionally. There is nobody who can resist their little world- from which the mantle falls down at the end of the film. We trust: they are going to feel this way even in America.
At 25. February let’s root for the the favourite of many of us: for "Maestro" which got two prizes at BuSho 2006!

BBB triangle (BuSho-Békéscsaba-Bologna)

BBB

Tóth Csaba, the star of the Dustmen receives at home Lorenzo Mariani, director of the animated short film entitled I painted the peace in the near future.
As known the makers of the two films got so close during BuSho that they funded the Békéscsaba-Bologna axis. The visit of the Italian artist is a result of this fact. They did not tell details, but our reporters are going to investigate everything: which local traditions, bars (and other places of interest) are going to be visited and adopted by Lorenzo in the Stormy Corner.



November 2006

WE MOVE! (from #9 to #7)

Almassy

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.)



November 2006

ATTENTION! NEW ENTRY DEADLINE!

During the ending congress in September we decided to bring forward the entry deadline. We hope that this way we can avoid the mistakes caused by the hurry, for example we are going to have more time to correct the catalogue. In 2007 the deadline is going to be 3rd May.

Krsko contact making seminar

Luksuz

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 final schedule of the competition is ready!

headThe 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.
