BuSho Film Festival

BuSho (Budapest Short) was established in the autumn of 2004 by a group of young Hungarian filmmakers and the first event successfully ran its course the following year. The festival became an international breakthrough in an exceptionally short period of time. We had plenty of festival screenings, selections of film academy's, conferences, exhibitions, film-, and all-art workshops in the program. Our main target group is the generation of developing young filmmakers but we are very delighted at every entry. This film celebration takes place in Budapest in the late summer of 2015.

Our main target group is the generation of developing young filmmakers but we are delighted at every entry. You can enter in three categories: fiction, animation and experimental.

The main organizer (the Foundation) is a non-governmental organization, and so are the major part of its co-operating partners, so the collaboration between the non-profit sector and cultural institutions is essential to the success of the project. The essence of this success is to motivate common activity among young inland filmmakers and other international organizations taking part in the audiovisual program. We would like to give young filmmakers a fair show to introduce and realize themselves in order to create a new common European value in which the supranational dimension is given by the participant countries.

Our mission is to develop the cultural identity of the audiovisual sector of Eastern and Central Europe. Following the second festival and since that every year we passed a few hour selection of Hungarian short films to 30 festivals around the world, which eases the way into the market of young European professionals and the promotion and distribution of the screened European films. In the long term we would like to make up Central-Eastern-European selections and bring them to other participants of the audiovisual sector which could strengthen co-operation among world wide film festivals.
