This film here below has just arrived from China and it is strongly connected to the MEDIAWAVE Festival which has recently closed its gates. The film is about Miklós Both's cooperations with Chinese musicians. We were together with Miklós in Lijiang, near Tibet, in October and met the musicians in the film there. 10 artists who can't be seen in this film but born in this city visited our festival and became emblematic figures of the Gathering. Although Miklós is still in China, hopefully we can listen to his Folkside concert with Chinese guest musicains at the Ördögkatlan Festival in the beginning of August.

Very soon after the party started, Pozor had some supporters: Bulgarian drummers, Benke Grátzy with his big drum and Csobán Sára with his saxophon made the party become more Balkan. See the clip below in the 'details'.

The first grade students of the Artistic Department of the Communication University in Budapest made a project dealing with the festival's main topic, the womanhood. One of our photographers made some pictures of them before they started to create the project,

For five days, the 23rd Mediawave had flushed the program for its ambitious audience.
