Flóra Anna BUDA
Director & Visual Artist
Hungary
Flóra Anna Buda was born and raised in an artistic environment in the outskirts of Budapest. After her studies in fashion, her love for drawing and interest in storytelling led her to animation. Her MOME graduation film called Entropia was premiered at the 69th Berlinale, won the 33rd Teddy Award and was in competition at Annecy.
She became an intern at MIYU Productions where later she made her first professional film – in co-production with Boddah – called 27. It had its premiere at Cannes Film Festival where it won the Short Film Palme d’Or, and then the Cristal for a Short Film at Annecy Festival. Currently, she is developing new projects.
One of her main goals is to keep searching for new ways of creating diverse universes, telling honest stories and finding a way to create an artistic project out of her recent interest, with an open mind.
