We conquered the castle of Eger
BuSho Film Festival is proud to announce an exciting new cooperation with the University of Eger (Eszterházy Károly Catholic University – Institute of Motion Picture Art), expanding our long-standing commitment to supporting the next generation of filmmakers.
From the very beginning, one of the core values of BuSho has been to create a space where young talents can thrive and be recognized. Our student jury plays a crucial role in this mission, offering a unique perspective on the films in competition. Until now, this jury has exclusively featured students from Budapest-based institutions such as SZFE, ELTE, METU, and MOME.
But this year, for our 21st edition, we’re shaking things up! Thanks to this new collaboration, we’re welcoming students from the University of Eger to join the jury, expanding it to five members. This means even more perspectives and a stronger connection with film programs all across Hungary. The students from the university were also welcome to submit their films to this year’s edition of the festival.
To kick things off, we recently visited Eger for a BuSho presentation and a “Best of BuSho” screening. The place was packed, and the energy from the students was amazing — a perfect start to what we hope will be a lasting partnership.
We can’t wait to see the new ideas and fresh vibes the students bring to this year’s festival!
