Aquincum (Latin: [aˈkᶣɪŋkũː], Hungarian: [ˈɒkviŋkum]) was an ancient city, situated on the northeastern borders of the province of Pannonia within the Roman Empire. The ruins of the city can be found today in Budapest, the capital city of Hungary. It is believed that Marcus Aurelius wrote at least part of his book Meditations at Aquincum.

Sziget Festival
Sziget Festival

The Sziget Festival (Hungarian: Sziget Fesztivál, pronounced [ˈsiɡɛt ˈfɛstivaːl]; "Sziget" for "Island") is one of the largest music and cultural festivals in Europe. It is held every August in northern Budapest, Hungary, on Óbudai-sziget ("Old Buda Island"), a leafy 108-hectare (266-acre) island on the Danube. More than 1,000 performances take place each year. The week-long festival has grown from a relatively low-profile student event in 1993 to become one of the prominent European rock festivals, with about half of all visitors coming from outside Hungary, especially from Western Europe. It also has a dedicated "party train" service (with resident DJs) that transports festival-goers from all over Europe. The second event (1994), labelled Eurowoodstock, was headlined by performers from the original Woodstock festival. By 1997, total attendance surpassed the 250,000 mark, and by 2016 reached the 440,000 mark. In 2018 that record was broken when 565,000 visitors attended the festival. Since the mid-2000s, Sziget Festival has been increasingly labelled as a European alternative to the Burning Man festival due to its unique features ("an electronically amplified, warped amusement park that has nothing to do with reality").In 2011, Sziget was ranked one of the 5 best festivals in Europe by The Independent. The festival is a two-time winner at the European Festivals Awards in the category Best Major European Festival, in 2011 and 2014.In 2002, Sziget branched out to Transylvania when its organisers co-created a new annual festival there titled Félsziget Fesztivál (Romanian: Festivalul Peninsula) that soon became the largest of its kind in Romania. In 2007, the organisers co-created Balaton Sound, an electronic music festival held on the southern bank of Lake Balaton that quickly gained popularity.

Varga Studio

Varga Studio, Ltd. was an animation studio located in Budapest, Hungary. It operated from 1988 to 2005 and was one of Europe's nine leading animation houses. While most of its work was for European animation, it occasionally animated for American series as well. Varga has animated the following series and films: Amazing Animals (2D segments only) The Animal Train (co-produced with TVC London) Animaniacs (When You're Traveling skit only) Angelina Ballerina As Told by Ginger (pilot only) Baby Blues Kipper Percy the Park Keeper Poky and Friends (co-produced with TVC London, Little Golden Books and Golden Books Family Entertainment. Distributed by Sony Wonder) Preston Pig (co-produced with Link Entertainment and Entertainment Rights) Mr. Bean: The Animated Series (2002–2004) Sheeep Stressed Eric (second season) The Thief and the Cobbler (additional ink and paint)In addition, Varga worked on many early advertisements for Butterfinger featuring The Simpsons, as well as music videos of The Simpsons such as "Do The Bartman" and "Deep Deep Trouble". They were subcontracted for these specials so that the regular Simpsons studios like AKOM, Rough Draft Studios, and Anivision were not burdened with extra work and could concentrate on animating full episodes.From 2000, the studio produced cartoons as a subcontractor to Varga Holdings, which was established at the time, and to its owner, Varga Holdings Ltd., which was registered in the United Kingdom. The 2002 Mr. Bean cartoon series reached nearly four million views at its premiere in the UK. The production cost was more than six million dollars.Varga Studios Budapest worked on the pilot of the Animated Credits, (1999) and Varga Holdings later in 2002-2004.
