Founded in 1991, the Mediawave Foundation was originally created to promote visual culture, but from its second year it gradually expanded its activities to include other artistic disciplines. Our focus has been on ethnic and improvisational music, to the extent that since the early 2000s our main event has been called Mediawave International Film and Music Festival.

On 5th-6th of March, the judging of Mediawave's international film competition - except for music and environmentally conscious documentaries - took place in Kiscsősz, with the participation of 60 novice, master's and postgraduate students from 15 film universities. Based on a previous selection from the pre-jury, six juries evaluated the movies in the categories of:
- short film
- animated film
- experimental film
- short documentary
- documentary
- educational and televisional documentary.
The juries have made their decision, but the awards will only be announced and distributed to the chosen international filmmakers at a professional forum in Kiscsősz on 4th-7th of May, which will also be Mediawave's main film venue. However, the task of those who took part in the non-standard jury, which aim is to help the professional film training, did not end with the evaluation of the movies. They will contact the winners (without mentioning the type of their prize) and organize their arrival to the festival, as well as explore the further potential of each creators and films, which can be transferred to workshops and master classes on the event.
During the weekend, the new organizing team also held talks with the students and teachers from almost all film universities in the Carpathian Basin on the topic of a future university film festival that they will try to create together besides Mediawave's international film program.

For the last days of February, the pre-jury of the "Fényírók Fesztiválja - Another Connection" - 32nd Mediawave 2022 Gathering selected the international film program for the festival, from nearly 900 films. The members of the pre-jury can be accessed by clicking here. Based on last year's attempt, the judging of the movies that have entered the international film competition will not be performed by reputed experts, but - in the spirit of the Gathering’s new concept - by Hungarian and international students from different film universities. The only exceptions are the music and environmentally conscious documentaries, as they will be judged by a separate professional jury. We want to emphasise that it is not a student jury, but a new concept that aims to help youth training in the field of moving pictures. After all, not only first year students, but also practicing filmmakers and theoreticians in their master's and postgraduate education are among the jury members. According to the words of film director and actor András Szőke, inspired by the example of the "conscious customer", we intended to help the formation of the "conscious (film)viewer" layer.

The pandemic had a huge damaging effect on all our everyday lives, and that is also true for the life of the organiser group members.. For this reason, our fresh, young, evolving organiser groups decided to create a new beginning. We look back at the past 30 years, as an accomplished time period, acknowledging all its values and failures. After the last year, which was hugely impacted by the pandemic situation, we are trying to reinterpret the acquired virtues of Mediawave.
Because of that, there will be new directions, but we also intend to keep and to carry on the old atmosphere and spirit.
Firstly, the “togetherness” of the Movie Festival part should be reconceived, with a newly invented shape, style and emphasis, because the previous organiser generation had less impact on adapting it to the contemporary times. In the past ten years, the strength of other artistic events (like music and all-arts programs) were building up a community spirit, and had huge success in creating a unique and special atmosphere in the events that were organised in the monastery fortress (in Komárom).
We have achieved that we were not willing to wait and serve the ones who come, and to fulfil the desires of the people, but instead we wanted to integrate everyone to create a community, collaborating and building up our “togetherness” together.
While the young organiser group has fewer experiences, it can happen that they make some mistakes.
We encourage you to help our work with your constructive advice and ideas. Thank you.
