It is held between 22-26 of October. After Busho's debut at Magma Festival in 2007 and it's success in Marzamem (where we won a Márton Szirmai special prize for Tripe and Onions) we are visiting the mediterranean island to astonish the adept Italian spectators. Owing to the invitations we sent out in the summer there were plenty of works been screened on Busho and it seems that one of the Godfathers made good friend with Mr. Szirmai because he managed to get into the competition yet again with his animation entitled Couple of Number.october 12, 2009 "THE RED BULL GOT OFF THE CANVAS" The MAFF (Metrion Animation Film Festival) calls for entries of their short ‘post-it draw-animation’ competition inviting students and young animators, in the topic of ‘The kidnap of Europe’.

september 07, 2009 AUSTRALIAN SHORT WON THE 5TH BUSHO FESTIVAL
 The 5th BUSHO International Short Film Festival awards were announced on 5th September at19:00. During the full-house screenings from Wednesday to Friday, the 5-member International Jury watched 94 entries in the competition section. The Hungarian member, Ildikó Enyedi film director, explained the jury’s decision as follows:„The film explores the almost unaproachable depth of a child’s soul in a disciplined, strict and highly sensitive film language.” The Golden BUSHO prize, which apart from the statue and the award package also included EUR 1000 offered by the Hungarian Ministry of Education and Culture, went to the Australian Rene Hernandez with his film The Ground Beneath.
The Silver BUSHO Award was won by Clement Michel’s film, Baby. In this picture we can follow the difficulties of an ordinary man throughout 17 minutes who slowly realises that fatherhood has opened up new dimensions in his life.
And finally, a Hungarian winner for the Bronze BUSHO: Zoltán Gayer and Péter Molnár with The Caroussel Rite, an earlier awarded short of the Hungarian Film Week.
august 27, 2009 1ST OF SEPTEMBER 7.00 PM AT VÖRÖSMARTY CINEMA!

One of the exhibitions of BuSho the '5 brave men of FAMU' will be displayed at Cseh Centrum (Czech Centre) which represents the works of the new generation of Czech animation graduated from the famous University of Prague.Just like in the previous years we invited the makers of the films that taking part in the competition so as to represent their work at the festival in person. Obviously the side programs that became an integral part and helped to set up a unique image of the festival for visitors from abroad (like sightseeing on an old-timer coach, visit to the House of the Parliament, bathing at Lukács spa) won’t be left out of the program. Come along and sniff up a bit of culture: Compulsory Short Program. june 19, 2009 BUSHO COMPETITION PROGRAM 2009!
After fulfilling their month and a half long assignment - the pre-jury of the 5th BuSho has completed their task. Likewise to last year's program they selected 94 movies in total for entering the competition. In category breakdown it means 61 fiction, 20 animation and 13 experimental work.
We would like to give the opportunity to the all the movies to be shown that did not make it to the competition due to it's 15 hours time limitation, so these films will be screened in an informational section. However with the Hungarian works we return to our basic and main conception that all Hungarian filmsthat entered will be shown to provide their makers with an opportunity to show themselves for an international audience. Enjoy the browsing!

For more details click here… february 15, 2009 EVENTUALLY BUSHO CINECLUB Our regulars expected it a long ago... Here it comes then. The BuSho cineclub is particularly to put pieces on screen that have been shown only in the information block, therefore a very few of you had the chance to see them. Each year some pieces miss to make it to the competition program by the skin of their teeth, moreover due to the huge amount of entries over the past two years – the field of the information block is getting stronger. Apart from screening the awarded pieces and the categorycal selections, we are also planning to do a country specific section of the one counting the most entries. We believe that there is a lot to squeeze into the occasional 4 hour show. According to our plan, after each of these shows the pieces will be evaluated by some experts that are the former members of the pre-jury and members of the international jury. february 10, 2009 AXN FILMFESTIVAL VOTES FOR PUBLIC AWARD

The organizers of the Azyl Festival in Bratislava and of the BuSho in Budapest are fed up with the political debates, and they decided that they would try to prove (first of all on a cultural scene): Yes, there’s a normal Slovak-Hungarian relation-though this is not what we hear from the media… So the first step of the Azyl-BuSho cooperation is a call, of which point is that the applicants make 1 minutes short films related to the motto „reklama na zivot” – life-ad(d). The titles and topics are chosen within the syllabus Hungarian-Slovak relation. www.azyl.sk

Few months ago, in Republic of Macedonia, a new Festival of short minimalist films by the name of 
The International Scientific Film Festival in Szolnok (5-8. November 2009) provides forum for such distinct films which can somehow, in some way be connected to science: are about some scientific result or work, or in their action, language and presentation give place to science. Entry deadline: 18 April 2009. 
The invitation for applications has closed down for the shortfilm festival that was set up by the AXN television channel. It is now time for the public to form their opinion about the works.

This year’s 
The carrying-on of GizmoSho Animation Workshop is called GomBusho ( because of the secession of the main sponsor) and it took place at Gombolyag, which is located far from the noise of the city, because it was proven several times that you can work more effectively in still, countryside environment, because You cannot leave for some hours (or even days) with different reasons. This happened a few times during last year1s workshop…The other important alteration: the participants were not completely beginners, but the 
The construction of the cultural bridge along the Budapest-Sicily axle –started last fall- continued this year when the festival ( namely the festival director) was invited (into the international jury ) to a picturesque small town situated at the Southernmost point of Europe. We got many memories and buzzes, and .gif)
Record number of entries arrived – as it has been already told. The foretold number was 580, but it has increased a little bit, so in the end it shinned up to 619! The task of the brand new pre-jury was very hard, but finally they managed to delienate this year’s competiton and information program… however you have to wait a little more to the final lists, because we try to avoid any mistakes in the labyrinth of administration. 
The camp between 1-8. July gives possibility to every youngster who would like to have a deeper insight to filmmaking to test his/ her abilities and to work their ideas out, with the leadership and backup of some excellent authorities. The camp is related to the Academy’s amateurish film-festival, because its goal – among others- is to give the unprofessional talents a chance to develop their technisal skills and after making up their arrears so that they can apply to the festival entitled „Trust” of the Academy. The event is going to be homed by the Piliscsaba campus again. The right technical background makes sure that every idea becomes reality. There will be discourses and consultations about various topics, and every day will be concluded by common filmwatching. Those who feel enough audacity, ask wit Trust the Faludi Academy for further information. 
After the analysis of the statistics of last years (2005- 94 films, 2006- 171 films, 2007-360 films) it is not such a great surprise that the number of the entries to BuSho 2008 is over half thousand, precisely it is 580! Dessecting the lists: we got films from 61 countries, the ’winners’ are: the golden medal goes to Germany (66 entries), the silver goes to UK (64 films), and at the third place we find Hungary with its 54 films handed. 
The 3rd BuSho Spot (work of the cooproduction of Morpho and Ogilvy) which was chidden by many and complimented by more (nobody stayed indifferent) got its own life by favour of its ’fathers’: Jekler Balázs and Spielmann Gábor. The Spot got into the final of the Méribel Ad Festival 2007 (

The survival of Busho is due to Kultiplex in a sense, because we spent our first 2 years (2005, 2006) there. We immediately signed in our intention to participate to Dózerfestival somehow when we heard about the idea of it. The last event of the screening-series of 3 projections is going to be the showing of the 2007 „BESTOF Selection”, 17. February, Sunday. We want to say goodbye and thank you to Kulti this way. 
During the usual conference following the festival the organizers has decided that the 4th BuSho Festival is going to take place between 3-7. September in 2008. We modify the entry conditions because of the large number of entries in 2007 and there is going to be an online entry form at the website in december. When fulfilled, the entry form must be printed and sent by mail with the entered film to the address of the festival. 
After the succesful 3rd festival „the international situation is escalating”, and BuSho is on its European tour again!

In October we were present at Brno 16 –according to precedent, and in november we are going to come out at a new event, 
The public vote following the Gizmosho Animation Workshop is ended. The film entitled Anno by Fogarasi Gergely – which was prized by the 3-member-jury of the Workshop, too- has taken the majority of votes: more, than one quarter of these, alone! The director has taken his mission very seriously, You will see, if You click on this link: 
The main prize of the 3rd BuSho festival is won by the film entitled Offside ( Erez Tadmor, Guy Nattiv, Israel). The Silver Busho went to two Hungarian creators: Simonyi Balázs and Tóth Barnabás for the film „One vote” („Egy szavazat”), while the third step of imaginary stand could have been taken by Felix Stienz (Germany) for the film „Ladenhüter”. In the picture you can see the member of our jury, Kis-Bocz Éva with the prize.
We fondly invite everyone at 18.30 on 3rd August, at the Cultural Centre of Almássy Square to the official opening of the 3rd BuSho Film Festival. The festival is going to be opened by Groó Diana, film director.

The schedule of the concert series IVF Folk & Roll is complete! The program includes concerts of the leading folk-rock bands of the region. The gigs in cronological order are: the Slovak Druzina, the Hungarian Rackajam, the Polish Chudoba, and finally the Czech Gothart.
An animation workshop organized by UPC operating the site VideoGizmo, Busho Festival and Hipokaloric Group will be held at the Cultural Centre of Almássy Square during the week prior to BuSho Festival. The 15 filmmakers chosen by the pre-jury will have the possibility to attend the 8-day workshop for free. Entries are expected until 20th July.
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. 
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 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.

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.
