Baleset is made in memory of Jules Engel (b. Budapest, 1909-2003), a pioneer of Experimental Animation, as a retrospective of his legacy animation, 'Accident’ (1973).

BOOKANIMA, a compound word of ‘Book’ and ‘Anima’, is an Experimental Animation project to give books a new cinematic life. It aims to create ‘Book Cinema’ in the third scope between Book and Cinema by Chronophotography Animation, paying homage to Edward Muybridge and Entienne Jules-Marey.
