No Stopping
Everything went on for the twentieth time as it has every year before, so it started and ended, the sun rose in the east, set in the west, and then after the noisy success, suddenly there was silence.
We started the processing, the accounting, the closing, the sending of the fees. Because, after all, every year there are some lucky ones who receive it in person and at least as many to whom we send it by post or by courier. This time we have been able to send several prizes to the Liszt Institutes in Paris and Rome, and we thank you for your contribution. Then, interestingly, the Norwegian artist from outside the EU and the war-torn Russian studio quickly got back to us that the parcel had arrived, and from almost neighbouring Prague we received a ‘sad but true’ response:
“Recipient not available at the address.”
The truth is:
“Unfortunately, they didn’t give me a notice to pick up my package. So I didn’t know it is actually there. Now they have it at the depot to be sent back to you. It’s completely absurd.”
Then we realise that we are not even done with this year’s organisation, but November has come and we have to start preparing for the next one, because from 1 December the new registration period will open and our call will be reactivated.
Check out the short event video made by the Latvian students or browse this year’s archive and after the feedback you will surely feel like it, but we also encourage you:
Come and submit your films, everyone is welcome to the 21st BuSho Short Film Festival 2025!
