BuSho Film Festival

The Idea of the BuSho International Short Film Festival presented itself in the heads of some young Hungarian Filmmakers, but during the years it became clear that it was about much more. The international feedback (shortfilm.de: 'BuSho Vision is not a media campaign against the US President!') about the first event organized mindfully of the principle 'Do not hesitate-act' gave another motivation to the youngsters, so in base of the 360 entries from 45 countries in the 3rd year of the history of the festival we can say: the festival transnational dimension was born, although we are still in our infancy...

The festival was born to give the more and more thriving short film-society a scene the introduce itself in the capital, and young titans the possibility to prove their talent in an international field. We invite every year filmmakers and leaders from the European workshops in order to offer these communities a lucid and pleasurable being together, promoting at the same time the knowing of each other's values. Beyond the outings of individual filmmakers we had screenings of the winners of international filmfestivals and a conference negotiating the situation and the possibilities of co-operation of young European filmmakers. We offer European youngsters one chance to know the alternatives of cooperation and of safeguarding and exercising their interests.

Our mission is to develop the cultural identity of the audiovisual sector of Eastern and Central Europe. In 2006 , following the second festival we passed a 6-hour selection of Hungarian short films to 30 European festivals, which unburdens the getting 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 convey them to other partecipants of the audiovisual sector which could strengthen cooperation among European festivals.
