The Busho Festival

The Busho (Budapest Short) Festival was born to give the more and more thriving short film-society a scene the introduce itself, and to give young titans the possibility to prove their talent in an international field. We invite every year filmmakers and leaders from the filmmaking 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. 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 participants of the audiovisual sector which could strengthen cooperation among European festivals.
