KISKAKAS Animation Celebration
Organized by the 130 year old Moholy-Nagy University of Arts and Design
21-22-23 October, 2010, Kino art cinema, Budapest
Animation is a popular genre in Hungary, just like anywhere else in the world. Yet, quality animated projects targeting adults barely make it to the local audiences. The goal of the third KISKAKAS is to make current and worthy animated films available to the public and to professionals in the industry by presenting famous animation schools of the world. These are the studios, which supply the field with new creative talent, as well as exciting and valuable works to watch.
With the era of digital motion pictures and the spread of computer applications, the universities with animation education gained easy-to-use effective tools, which make the production of animated projects much easier. This is in addition to the creative freedom, free of all business and market pressure weighing on traditional studios. As a result, during the last decade educational workshops have become the cathalists of international animation life. The screening program of Kiskakas presents the works of various such workshops, 16 schools from 9 countries, including numerous festival prize winner, or even Academy Award nominee, films.
The program consists of two parts: the general public can attend screenings in the afternoon and evenings, while professional presentations are held in the mornings with discussions between invited foreign guests and local representatives of the industry. These discussions are open to the public as well. Those university presentations will be especially interesting where the audience can learn behind the scenes information and might find out for example, how it was possible after a three year program for six students to make a joint dimploma project, nominated for an Academy Award?
All this is hosted by KINO theater, which, with its two screening rooms and a café, will turn into the hub of local animation for these three days. Screenings start from 2.30 pm, parallel in the two rooms. This way, eight programs are screened in one day.

Diverse materials – like plexiglass and precious stones, or silver and fibre optic cables – harmonise in her ornatures. She is working with Corian, a special material perfect for jewellery for its smooth touch, pleasant wear, relative lightness and its easy combination with silver and precious stones alike. At the same time Corian is highly durable, so Fanni’s pieces can go down to the next generations as dear legacy. All her pieces are handmade, she shapes them individually, which makes every article unique.

He produces custom bags of special structures and shapes. His inspiration stems from folk art with a contemporary touch added to the final product to meet current requirements for function and design. The bags are handy, also in the sense that their structure allows for enlargement, i.e. the more you load them the larger their inside expands. The horizontally or vertically striped bags come in various shapes and sizes, but have the same underlying structure. He aspires to continuously extend his product family.

She’s affected by the force of perpetual change that effects her urge to seek novelty at all times. She seeks new opportunities and solutions, using paper, aluminium, textile and fur on her way. Soft spatial curves, hues, choice of substance and the intellectual message unwind the basic geometric shapes of her extravagant pieces.
