PRIMANIMA 2013, Hungary: Awards

 At the 2nd edition of Primanima World Festival of First Animation (23-26 October, Budaörs, Hungary) , the Grand Prix went to the graduation animation Fly Mill by Anu-Laura Tuttelberg from the Estonian Academy of Arts "for creating a secret recipe for a perfect movie and black bread".

 The international jury (Max Andersson, Igor Prassel,  Igor Lazin)  gave out the award for the most promising Hungarian talent in animation, to Panna Horváth-Molnár, a recent graduate at MOME Budapest and co-director of Dipendenza. This grotesque film explores the dynamics of relationship, while challenges conservative gender roles in a fishy setting.

 Betty's Blues, a pre-selected short for the César awards by Remi Vandenitte won a Special festival mention, while Nicolai Troshinsky's Astigmatismo was awarded as the best debut film at Primanima. 

The Audience Award was handed out to Matus Vizár's anti-evolution story Pandas, while based on the audience votes the most popular Hungarian animated short is Rabbit and Deer by Péter Vácz.

 In 2012, the Grand Prix of the very first edition of PRIMANIMA went to Jason Carpenter's The Renter (CalArts, USA), while best workshop film award was handed out to Elli Vuorinnen's The Toungeling from Turku Arts Academy, Finland.
