Cornwall Film Festival Seals Partnership With BuSho Film Festival

After last year’s pilot international screening programme Another Country, the Cornwall Film Festival has taken its international reach to another level this year by creating an unprecedented partnership with a similar filmmaking and film-loving celebration in Hungary, the Budapest International Short Film Festival, aka BuSho.

Festival Trustee Denzil Monk and Intern Marion Monnier were invited to sit on  BuSho’s international jury panel for three days of screenings, meetings and debates as well as sightseeing tours of the dazzling city of Budapest.

Run by an enthusiastic and passionate team, the BuSho Festival is directed by Tamas Gabeli, a colourful and efficient film enthusiast who pursues a single aim: to share his love for films.

Thanks to a cohesive atmosphere among the organising team, the international jury members, the filmmakers as well as film enthusiasts, the BuSho experience provided our CFF representatives with many networking opportunities, which hopefully will help the Cornwall Film Festival to find its place on the international scene.

After this first successful exchange with its new partner and as a next step towards mutually rewarding collaboration, the Cornwall Film Festival has, in turn, invited to Falmouth two delegates from the BuSho Festival, to experience the best in Cornish filmmaking.

Not only will this new partnership raise the international profile of the Festival, it will also provide a fine platform for Cornish filmmakers to showcase their work and discover new sources of inspiration.
