BIO
I am a Hungarian, London-based animation filmmaker, illustrator and multimedia artist. I have learnt the basics of animation and filmmaking at Illyés Academy of Arts in Budaörs and I am currently completing my final year on the Contemporary Media Practice course at the University of Westminster in London. Through a spiritual and philosophical approach –usually accompanied with absurd humour – my works take place in a surreal and poetic setting, being more atmosphere than character focused. My aim is to capture a surreal and odd sensation which usually reflects on my inexhaustible fascination about the link between the material and nonmaterial dimensions and the beauties of Nature. I mostly work with 2D analogue techniques, using hand drawn frame by frame process to create subtle abstract narratives with aquarelle, ink, colour pencil or charcoal.

About JUMPSTART
The project I’m currently working on is called ‘Octopus in the room’ – an audiovisual multimedia piece which I’m developing as my BA diploma work. The concept revolves around the exploration of the sensation of fear in one’s life, its effects on the human body and the personal environment of people. Made with 6 female and non-binary people, a sequence of interviews give a broad and diverse view on their experience and relationship with fear, while touching on existential and spiritual questions. The project operates with a symbolic and associative portrayal of the recorded conversations, which are crafted together as a sequence of poems, creating an interesting mixture of fiction and documentary. The project examines the 'spatial awareness' of my generation, both in the physical and mental sense while aiming to capture the expression of one's very experience of fear, rather than what one is afraid of.
The final outcome, would be an exhibition in the first place, featuring 6 large scale paintings and one animated piece, projected in the exhibition space. Each painting reflects on and would be accompanied with an audio piece featuring a set of documentary poetry pieces. The animated projection would work as the ‘climax’ of the exhibition, reflecting on the summary of the featured artworks and the audio pieces. The project would also exist as an illustrated poetry book, including the exhibited artworks, the documentary poetry pieces as well as additional poems (written by me) in the topic. As the last element, the exhibited visual and audio material would provide the foundation of an animated short film which I aim to produce after I’ve graduated.
Jumpstart
A 2022-es Primanima Jumpstart egy tehetséggondozó kezdeményezés, amely „kettő az egyben” lehetőség egy gyakorlati workshopon és egy forgatókönyv-fejlesztő programban való részvételre, amely már a 10. Primanima Nemzetközi Elsőfilmes Animációs Fesztivál előtt elkezdődött, és utána egész évben folytatódott online és személyes konzultációk formájában. Az egyedülálló műhelymunkában 12 kiválasztott tehetségnek van lehetősége részt venni, akik a gyakorlati munka után egy dramaturg segítségével dolgoznak filmtervük forgatókönyvén.
A program első eleme egy négynapos, gyakorlatközpontú műhely, amelyet az Thomas Renoldner, Marzieh Emadi és Sina Saadat alkotók tartottak a Primanima előtt. A résztvevők itt egy közös animációs projektet hoztak létre, amelyet a fesztiválon mutattak be a budaörsi Majorban. A műhely résztvevői magára a fesztiválra is meghívást kaptak, ahol vetítéseken, fórumokon és mesterkurzusokon vehettek részt. A fesztivál hetének második felében saját animációs filmterveikhez is tanácsot kérhettek a magyar animációs filmrendező és dramaturg Hermán Árpádtól, illetve csoportos megbeszéléseken is prezentálhatták önálló projektjeiket. A fiatal tehetségeknek a közös élmény folytán lehetőségük van erős kapcsolatot építeni egymással, és még 11 alkalommal, havonta vehetnek részt konzultációkon forgatókönyvük fejlesztése érdekében. A Primanima Jumpstart tehetségfejlesztő programja egyedülálló abban, hogy a résztvevők a gyakorlati workshop eseménye után hosszútávú szakmai támogatást kapnak.
A 10. Primanimán startolt Jumpstart megvalósításában partnereink is aktívan részt vesznek. A visegrádi térség kiemelkedő filmes és animációs szakmai platformjaival működünk együtt. Nagy segítséget nyújtott nekünk a lengyelországi MOMAKIN, akik csapata révén résztvevőink meghívást kaptak a 2022-es ANIMARKT Stop Motion Forumra, a CEE Animation Forum, akik gyakorlati útmutatást adtak a fórumra történő jelentkezésről, és a szlovák StoryLab, akik az egyik résztvevőnket delegálták. A programban mentorált alkotóknak eszerint nagyobb lehetőségük adódik a térség más animációs szakmai programjainak a látogatására, valamint lehetőségük van a már létező és jól működő regionális hálózatokhoz is csatlakozni.
Primanima Jumpstart
2022
Primanima Jumpstart 2022 is a talent development initiative that offers a "two-in-one" opportunity to participate in a practical workshop and a script development programme that started before the 10th Primanima World Festival of First Animation and continued throughout the year in the form of online and in-person consultations. The unique opportunity for 12 selected talents to take part in the experimental workshop is followed by a practical session in which they are working on the script of their film project with the help of a dramaturg.
The first part of the programme was a four-day, practice-oriented workshop held right before Primanima by experienced tutors and filmmakers from Vienna, Thomas Renoldner, Marzieh Emadi and Sina Saadat . Here the participants created a collaborative animation project, which was presented at the festival in the exhibition space of Major in Budaörs. The participants were also invited to the festival itself, where they had the opportunity to participate in screenings, forums, master classes and the festival's vibrant life. During the second half of the festival week, they could also consult a Hungarian animation filmmaker and dramaturg Árpád Hermán for their own animation film projects and present their individual works in group sessions. The young talents have the opportunity to build strong relationships with each other through the experience and will have 11 more monthly consultations to develop their scripts. Primanima Jumpstart talent development programme is particularly unique in that participants receive long-term support after the practical workshop event.
Our partners are also actively involved in the implementation of Jumpstart 2022. We collaborate with prominent film and animation professional platforms in the Visegrad region. We have received great help from MOMAKIN in Poland, whose team enabled our participants to be invited to the 2022 ANIMARKT Stop Motion Forum, we have collaborated with the CEE Animation Forum, who provided practical guidance on how to apply to their well known event, and we have the chance to work on our partnership with StoryLab in Slovakia, who delegated one of our participants.All in all, one of our main goal was to provide a wider access to the creators mentored in this programme other animation industry events in the Visegrad region, as well as the chance to join existing and well-established regional networks and promote international cooperation among them.
