Berlinale: Entropia won the Teddy Award

Flóra Anna Buda’s graduation film, Entropia recieved the Teddy Award for Best Short Film, which is the offical Queer Award at the Berlin International Film Festival.

„Surreal, hypnotic and fresh; this is a fun short that explores sexuality and queer relationships. Part of a new wave that draws from science fiction and traditional Hungarian animation, the winner of the Teddy short film prize is ENTROPIA.” – said by the independent jury.

The TEDDY AWARD is a societal engaged political award, which is given to films and people, that communicate queer themes and content on a large scale and contribute with this to more tolerance, acceptance, solidarity and equality in society.

 

Flóra Anna Buda’s short presents three parallel universes where three girls live in ifferent circumstances. A fly flies over these separate universes and creates a bug in the system, whereby the girls are able to move towards each other, meet and melt in a peaceful idyll while the whole universe collapses around them.

This is the second time that a graduation film in animation from Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest is selected into the short competition programme of Berlinale: in 2014, the satirical sketch Symphony no. 42 by Réka Bucsi was premiered, and this year the futuristic-surrealistic Entropia by Flóra Anna Buda won the Teddy Award.
