Hungarian Short Wins Palme d’Or at Cannes

The animated film 27, a French-Hungarian co-production directed by by Hungarian artist/film-maker Flóra Anna Buda recently came away with the Palme d’Or for Best Short Film at the 76th Cannes International Film Festival, which came to a close on May 27th of this year.

Buda joins a select group of Hungarian film-makers who have won the prize including Péter Mészáros for After the Rain in 2002 and Marcell Iványi who won for Wind in 1996. Heading the jury this year was one of Hungary’s most decorated and respected film-makers, Ildikó Enyedi, who was on hand to present the award to Buda.

The short film, which follows the sexual awakening of a young woman in Budapest, will be screened at international film festivals and at home in Hungary at the upcoming Friss Hús Budapest International Short Film Festival.

And of course we have the trailer below with English subtitles. Even in this short clip you can see you are in for something special, and that the annimation is unique and evocative. We congratulate the director and the entire team and will stress that we only post news of Hungarian accomplishments to promote Hungarian film and Hungary as a filming location, but did not participate in this production. Thanks for reading.
