The Primanima International First-Film Animation Festival returns, marking its 10th edition in Budaörs this year.
The Primanima International First-Film Animation Festival returns, marking its 10th edition in Budaörs this year. This year, the animated short films arrive earlier than usual—running from October 5 to 8—at the Jókai Mór Cultural Center and BABtér, with Saturday events also taking place at the Municipal Youth Club. In addition to screenings for adults, teens, and children, the festival will once again feature workshops, discussions, and, of course, parties. Professional programs are taking on a new format, and Primanima Jumpstart—a hybrid talent development program—is launching as well.

When conflict becomes a spectacle, the lines between destruction and entertainment get blurred…
A circular looping animation projection installation.
1923 aka Heaven is one of two animation loops directed by Max Hattler, inspired by the work of French outsider artist Augustin Lesage. 1923 is based on Lesage's painting 'A symbolic Composition of the Spiritual World' from 1923.
Using the New Age idea of a 'dimensional shift' as inspiration, Shift combines science fiction themes through abstract, stop motion animation of objects and colour.
The Norwegian director’s abstract animation works with floating and unstable organic shapes. Constantly moving, they create entirely new forms. The film’s plasmatic structure unusually combines digital images with natural motifs and conveys feelings of cold and warmth.
A charming touch of craftsmanship, carefully chosen colour palette and the quiver of cutout animation particularly evident in animated flames make this music video a suggestive spectacle. By repeating distinctive motifs to the hypnotic tones of the song, it acts as an audiovisual spell.
Were we equals, or were some of us just using others? This non-narrative film explores the possibilities of textile materials and techniques in conjunction with the moving image. A musical composition by the artistic duo Nadváha is stitched by the repetitive sound of a sewing machine.

Billy Roisz is one of the best-known figures on the Austrian experimental scene. Her ability to translate experimental music into visual memory images is particularly noteworthy, revealing borrowings from minimal art and conceptual art. She specializes in feedback video and video/sound interaction by using monitors, cameras, video mixingdesks, a selfbuilt videosynth, computer, a bass guitar and sometimes turntables for video and sound generating.
We interviewed Panni Gyulai, whose film *Broken Things* won the PrimAlter Jury Award at the 8th Primanima festival, while Csaba Kalotás took home the PrimaSound Special Award for the film's sound design. Panni spoke to us about the process of creating films inspired by personal experiences.
