## [Hotel Central wins at Mediawave 2001](https://animate.org.uk/editorial/2001/04/hotel-central/)

The Best Experimental Film Award at Mediawave International Festival of Visual Arts this month in Györ, Hungary, went to Matt Hulse’s animate! film. Check into [Hotel Central](http://www.idlevice.com/) for a relax “somewhere between Les Vacances de M. Hulot and The Exorcist”.

Also shortlisted in the same competition was Paul Bush’s [Furniture Poetry](https://animate.org.uk/films/furniturepoetry/).

Earlier this year the director of the Rotterdam International Film Festival, Simon Field, nominated [Hotel Central](https://animate.org.uk/films/hotelcentral/) as his favourite film of the festival.
