Led by Judit Czakó, Panni Gyulai, and József Iszlai, a course was developed in a  collaboration between the Hintalovon Child Rights Foundation and MOME Anim during the spring semester of 2026. Addressing socially sensitive issues is a key priority on the programme, with students using animation to give these subjects greater visibility. In this project, they focused on children’s own experiences and perspectives. 

Since 2016, the Hintalovon Child Rights Foundation has worked to ensure that children’s rights are upheld in everyday life in Hungary and to help adults and professionals become more aware and better informed about children’s rights and how to identify child abuse.  

The Foundation selected the topics for the films and provided the expertise on children’s rights, while the students developed their own interpretations of each scenario. They had regular consultations throughout the semester but remained responsible for the stories and visual language. The completed animations were premiered at the Foundation’s tenth-anniversary celebration. 

Alexandra Bekker and Dóra Tasi’s Spots tells the story of a young boy, revealing the often unseen impact of domestic violence on a child’s inner world and the vital importance of a safe, violence-free environment. 

In Tattling, Virág Horváth, Léna Salamin, and Richárd Mezei explore the difference between tattling and asking for help. Made with the involvement of children, the film encourages kids to speak up if they or another child are in trouble.  

Don’t You Even Say Hello Anymore? by Anna Heitler, Ervin Kovács, and Áron Pifkó shows, from a young boy’s perspective, why it is important to respect children’s bodily autonomy and personal boundaries, even when showing affection. 

I’m Here by Hanna Pap, Réka Teleki, and Lujza Blanka Vinnai captures the experience of play becoming increasingly overwhelming for a young child, eventually leading to emotional distress that can be eased by an attentive adult.  

Gellért István Marosvári, Boróka Péter, and Franciska Lengyel’s animation Let’s Involve Them! emphasises that children also need clear, age-appropriate explanations and emotional support in situations that affect them. 

Maja Valcz and Lora Molli Polyányi’s The Last Game Alone highlights the importance of playing together, showing that playing freely with others, rather than spending time in front of screens, gives children’s creativity the greatest room to unfold and grow. 

The films are available on the Foundation’s Youtube channel, here!
