MOME Showcase (Hungary)
Here at MIAF, we’re not the only ones to notice it. The rise and rise of Hungarian animation is one of the subjects that comes up over and over at festivals when programmers get together to try and outsmart each other.
The reasons for it may be elusive but the results speak for themselves. The work being produced in Hungary at the moment – especially at the MOME Animation School in Budapest – is inspiring. When MIAF visited MOME we found a brand new facility that blended the latest technology with the age-old arts skills that animators have deployed since the beginning of time. Turning up for the MOME graduation ceremony was like visiting a rock concert, the energy was running at 11 and people had come from all over Europe for it. The students were the stars and they knew, their work pulsed with that knowledge and confidence.
This Showcase is a glimpse inside a rapidly changing animation scene that is going from strength to strength before our very eyes.
