Buster Film Festival Denmark Festival dates for 2006: 8th - 15th September | | |
| Film submission form 2006 and regulations Read about this year's film winners The festival consists of an international and nordic selection of new children and youth films, and the formats are both feature films, short films, documentaries, and animation films. Besides the screenings there are workshops where children can learn filmmaking as well as seminars for film professionals.
BUSTER organises the official nordic children and youth film meeting for film profesionals, a task given to BUSTER by Scandinavian Films in the year 2003.
BUSTER is an international children?s film festival of a high standard, capable of attracting a huge audience, while creating a forum for international film professionals.
In the spring of 1999 the Centre of Children and Youth Film at the Danish Film Institute assembled a group of film workers affiliated with children?s films. They created the foundation for BUSTER and at the same time BUSTER Foundation was established with support from the Danish Film Institute.
With an annual recurring film festival that attracts a large and enthusiastic young audience, BUSTER wishes to place children? and youth film on the cultural agenda. BUSTER offers films of high artistic quality and is an essential alternative to the current cinema programmes for children. It is our hope that the BUSTER audiences will experience something extraordinary during the festival, that diversity within children?s films will become visible and that the young audience is strengthened in its ability to see, understand, and use moving pictures.
The film sections of the festival include:
? BUSTER Competition programme of 11 international children?s films
? BUSTER Competition programme of 11 international children?s short films
? BUSTER Competition programme of 11 international youth films
