We are thrilled to announce that The Death of Dracula, a film produced within the LOST ANALOGUE project, will have its world premiere at the prestigious International Film Festival Rotterdam this February. This milestone highlights the project’s artistic achievements and its ability to foster internationally recognized creative work. We pay tribute to the project’ achievement by presenting the evaluation report compiled by HETFA Research Institute and the Lost Analogue Educational Handbook that are now ready to be downloaded from our website.
The LOST ANALOGUE project, funded under the Erasmus+ program, has been a groundbreaking initiative aimed at revitalizing vocational film education and training. Running from October 2023 to January 2025, the project brought together four European partners to explore the use of analogue film techniques alongside interdisciplinary methodologies, such as collaborations with music and other creative fields. The project sought to innovate in teaching practices and bridge the skills gap between analogue and digital filmmaking while fostering international cooperation.
The newly published evaluation report, “CELLULOID CONNECTIONS – Cultivating Creative Skills through Analogue Film and Musical Collaboration,” provides a detailed analysis of the project’s outcomes. It is an invaluable resource for educators and cultural professionals seeking inspiration for innovative teaching methods or insights into the benefits of interdisciplinary collaboration in creative education. The report highlights key findings, including the impact of reintroducing analogue techniques and the effectiveness of cross-border and interdisciplinary cooperation.

HÉTFA Research Institute, a key partner in the LOST ANALOGUE project, played a pivotal role in developing the evaluation report. Leveraging its expertise in cultural and educational research, HÉTFA conducted a comprehensive analysis of the project’s activities and outcomes, ensuring that the report offers data-driven insights on the artistic development and pedadogical process. This publication not only celebrates the project’s achievements but also serves as a valuable guide for those interested in innovative and sustainable approaches to creative education.
The evaluation report is complemented by the Lost Analogue Education Handbook, that reveals the behind-the-scenes details of creating the film remake The Death of Dracula, which is at the core of the project. Coordinated by the Association of Hungarian Filmmakers from Transylvania, the handbook provides a detailed exploration of the benefits and challenges of using analog techniques. Additionally, it includes a dedicated chapter on the music composition process (composer and music director: Miqueu Montanaro, MiMo Association) and shares insights from the Ördögkatlan Festival, which hosted the first test screening and has extensive experience in interdisciplinary art projects.
