From Berlin to Oberhausen to Sarajevo – Wish You Were Ear, a diploma film by Mirjana Balogh about the imprints of romantic relationships, continues its journey through the international festival circuit. Following its triumph at the 71st Berlinale, where it received the Crystal Bear for Best Short Film, the animation has now been selected for the international student film competition at the prestigious Sarajevo Film Festival.
MOME ANIM took centre stage at the renowned Annecy International Animation Film Festival and MIFA Market on 8–14 June, where Hungary was the guest of honour. MOME’s vibrant animation community showcased its globally acclaimed education through student films, film concepts, installations, and industry-led talks.

What’s the science behind cuteness? How might we rethink bulky waste collection in Budapest, or even redesign a fruit dryer? What does it mean to reconnect with nature, and is it really necessary to store the endless streams of data we’re generating today? These are just some of the questions addressed by the masterworks featured in the 2025 Diploma Exhibition of the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME). This year’s graduates explore global and societal challenges through the lens of design and art, with works spanning four major themes: the climate crisis, social innovation, dignified care and healthcare, and the future of cultural heritage in an ever-accelerating world.
