Réka Bucsi Makes Movies

PREDAVANJE
3/10 SAT 12:30h &TD

My talk is an overview on how I started making animated films since I graduated from the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest in 2013. I talk about each movie individually, including some process and production experiences. I am an independent animation filmmaker, trying to get my films to cinemas. I work with unconventional narrative, which presents its own set of challenges when it comes to a pitch, a distribution plan or dealing with an audience in general. I have been balancing commissioned and personal work for the past seven years and will give you a brief insight into my experiences.
