After last year’s success the main base of the event is going to be Vörösmarty cinema in Budapest, where the opening ceremony – hosted by Csaba Bollók who missed last year’s due to a trip abroad, will take place on the 1st of September, the screenings will be running in two different rooms there for 4 days, whereas finally on the 5th of September the international jury will annonce the winners.
The competitors will be awarded with 3 main prizes and 7 category prizes and in addition the winner of the main prize the Golden BuSho comes with a €1.000.- cash award at the first time. The evening and night programs of course continue at DocuArt Kocsiszín where beside the jury’s public consultation, some partner festival’s award winning works will be shown along with selection of Filming Workshops and video-library as well as those Hungarian works that did not make it into the competition.
The countrywide screenings that started last year will be extended this year, beside the existing spots such as Szeged, Szolnok and Szombathely, there will be paralell screenings abroad at the first time in BuSho’s history at the Kultúra Cinemain Magyarkanizsa, Serbia the venue just joined the BuSho board. 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.
