Hungarian Animation After 1989
When the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, state-owned Pannonia Studio lost its central role. Private studios sprang up, many comprising former Pannonia staff. Such included Studio Varga, the first private studio in Hungary after 1989; and Kecskemétfilm Studio, which was founded in 1971 as the Kecskemét branch of Pannonia and is the oldest Hungarian animation studio.
The spread of digital techniques in the late ’90s led to animation filmmaking becoming less expensive and more widespread – often outside the studio-framework and distributed online. New millennium animation artists have largely broken with the philosophical traditions of Hungarian animated art, instead favouring narratives and film genres.
