Overview

27

Alice is 27 years old today. Even though she is suffocating a bit, she still lives with her parents and tends to live in her dreams to escape her dreary everyday life. After a psychedelic party on a factory roof, she has a serious drunken bike accident. Will this give her the courage to become an adult?

DIRECTOR BIOGRAPHY - Flóra Anna Buda

Born and raised in an artistic environment on the outskirts of Budapest, after her studies in fashion, her love for drawing and interest in storytelling led her to make animation. She was accepted at MOME, where she graduated at the age of 27. Her graduation film, called ‘Entopia’, premiered at the 69th Berlinale and received the 33rd Teddy Award. Right after graduation, she became an intern at MIYU Productions, where she later made her first professional film, in co-production with Boddah, called ‘27’. The film was completed at the beginning of 2023 and premiered at the Festival de Cannes, where it won the Palme d'Or for short films. Not long after, it received the Crystal Award at the Annecy Festival, was nominated for the European Film Awards, and shortlisted for the César and the Academy Awards in the animated short film category. The film was created at ASF (Animation Sans Frontières), developed and pre-produced at the Open Workshop Residency in Viborg, Denmark, and received the CICLIC Award at the MIFA Pitch Forum at the Annecy Festival. Production took place in Paris, Budapest, and at the CICLIC Residency in Vendôme. Currently, she is developing new projects, installations, and paintings and has started to create hand-crocheted headpieces that bring her closer to fashion again. One of her main goals is to continue searching for new ways of creating diverse universes, telling honest stories, and finding a way to create an artistic project out of her recent interests with an open mind.
