'BuSho Film Festival', Budapest, Until 5 September
- 3 Sep 2010 3:00 AM
"The festival was established in 2004 by a group of young Hungarian filmmakers in order to fill a gap in the category of short film, but during the years it became clear that it was about much more. The name "BuSho" has come from a pun (Budapest Short - budapesti rövid), but it refers to a traditional popular custom of winter-send-of from Southern Hungary called "busójárás".
The festival became an international breakthrough in an exceptionally short period of time: we got 620 individual entries from 61 countries in 2008.
Nearby the competition and informational program we have plenty of festival screenings, selections of filmuniversities, feature films, film-, and all-art workshops in the program.
In 2010 for the first time we announced a spot competition of which goal was to shoot 6.th BuSho’s advert spot on a Sony Ericsson Vivaz mobile phone’s HD camera. The mobiles were provided by the BuSho team to the competitors for 10 days each. We recieved 30 works in total.
The 3 member jury (Orsolya Benkő, Killa Köllő, Péter Sirokai) selected the best 15 and those will be on screen prior to competition programs.
The best 3 and the public award winner can take a device home.
