42 Reflective Evaluation Study Lost Analogue project challenges that enriched the project, saying , Collaboration is always more difficult . However , the integration of different perspectives ultimately led to project success. Lakatos reflected on the project as a whole, describing it as his first significant adventure with the concept of artistic research. He explained that his role as project leader required him to reflect not only on the artistic quality of the film but also on its educational dimensions. As Lakatos put it , I am beginning to realise what artistic research is and what it can be. Leading this project meant guiding the participants toward certain artistic solutions, which compelled me to engage in reflections that went beyond those of an individual artist. I h ad to view the creative process from a broader perspective one that encompassed b oth artistic and pedagogical considerations. This higher - level view of the creative process, integrating artistic creation with educational objectives, offered me new insights into the perspective of artistic research. FUTURE PROSPECTS FOR COOPERATION Several filmmakers expressed interest in participating in similar projects in the future and many partners have developed valuable professional connections. Lakatos mentioned the potential for further collaboration with Christian Sebille ( director of GMEM, National Centre for M usical C reation based in Marseille; musical contributor to the project ) and other institutions highlighting the strong demand for continued cooperation. As Montanaro noted, musicians involved in the project also expressed interest in similar future opportunities, with some proposing a festival presentation in Budapest. Montanaro emphasised the growth of his and his team s musical network through the project, including a conductor who played a key role in recording the music for the film . Plans are underway to maintain these partnerships and build on them in future artistic initiatives. Brczes highlighted the opportunity to collaborate again with Cluj - Napoca filmmakers and Montanaro, with potential joint performances or workshops at th e next rdgkatlan Festival. According to the Brczes, maintaining and developing these relationships could contribute to the future success of the festival and the creation of new artistic encounters. On a broader level, there is motivation to distribute The Death of Dracula internationally. Smaller film festivals in Scotland and Switzerland have already shown interest and the groundwork for further dissemination is being laid , as Lakatos said.
