Curated by Hungarian director and jury member Luca Tóth, this complication program is dedicated to young talent emerging from Hungary.
Hungarian animation has a long and rich heritage, a history that the
1989 revolution impacted heavily. This crop of young animators were born
around the time of the revolution and their work reflects an awareness

interviews of immigrants living Budapest, this special showcases the
breadth of Hungarian animation talent today.
This program screened as part of KLIK Amsterdam Animation Festival 2018
