RE: 12th Film Festival, Congress Center, Balatonfured-Hungary

Why would anyone who is more or less sane pay $40 to an almost unknown 
organisation in United States (The Hungarian Multicultural Center, (Dallas, 
comma) Inc.) to screen their short film in Hungary?

Notice Russell Martin?s message in the same mail for his event, who at least 
honestly apologises for not being able to offer an exhibition fee, well 
excuse me for being a little passé, but fuck art + science; what about art + 
pagomento?

The HMC say on their website,
?The HMC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation supported by private 
donations. The artists are selected on the basis of their application, their 
demonstrated commitment to art, their discipline, their total resume and 
their references. Selections are made by members of the Board of Directors 
of the HMC. The Artist-in-Residence Program is for artists involved in the 
creation of visual arts and literature. It is neither a school nor an 
artist`s colony. It does, however, offer an opportunity for professional 
artists to explore their full creative potential. During their residency, 
each artist is provided with a studio space and exhibitions.? And, ?While 
HMC does not provide funding for residencies, we are helping to facilitate 
the creation of programs.? What can you say? Not much me thinks.

And they still want forty bucks and a bag of administration. I still find 
these calls a little difficult to believe even after all these years.
Maybe and perhaps, it explains Andreas? original mischievous and impossible 
provocation, a little?
