(Anthropology Newsletter) □ Hungarian Film wins Oscar. The prize of best animated short film in 1981 was awarded to director Ferenc Rofusz by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The Fly, which won other prizes in Europe, depicts the efforts of a fly, entrapped in a house, to escape. It was produced at the Pannónia Film Studios, one of the world’s largest cartoon and animation enterprises. The fact, that Rofusz was unable to attend the awarding ceremony due to lack of travel documents and funds, stirred quite a controversy in the Hungarian press, extending to a demand for reevaluation of relations between the arts and an overextended bureaucracy.
