IMPRESSIONS, STORIES, REVIEWS

ABOUT MEDIAWAVE 2019 GATHERING 

In chronological order, here we would like to collect the positive or negative impressions of our participants, and their stories from the 29th Gather. As lessons for all interested.

I personally do not like words of praise or applause because there is no tangible benefit for us. In outsiders, they may rather cause dissatisfaction, and surely prevent them from reading them further.

However, we look forward to the summaries of the analytical, positive and negative aspects. Because by analyzing them we can see some of what happened in this edition. Who did participate at what sort of an event, what did someone live through and how did someone understand at our community experiment. Which, as an experimental field, is obviously full of defects, possible dead-end directions, but of course with much better-than-expected sections as well. Based on Your o, we can decide whether to accelerate or even slow down our community building processes.

We are diverse, we perceive and are sensitized in many different ways. We've heard a lot of opinions, stories told in spoken words, but unfortunately, they quickly faded into a whirlwind - we can only save these by putting them in writing. Or even by speaking in videos or telling us on Skype, we'd love to record them.

If we make it to the next year, we'll be 30 years old. In this connection, on the last day I began to collect memories and stories among those who had returned to us many times. Surprising, uproaring stories from the past appeared to me, which I have lived completely differently or not at all. Opinions related to films, concerts, surrounding athmospheres, personal connections, perhaps long-hidden impressions, love stories. We are looking for this event’s evolution of a beautiful age, of the festival still shaping the period after the regime change, becoming a gathering and we are trying to sum it up with your help. Let's start collecting in time before they’d vanish.
 

We are looking forward to receiving the photos, videos that we could publish and maybe add some comments.

In case it’s too ambiguous what we want, I suggest to read, to take a look at last year's review collections regarding Mediawave Gathering and the Summer Stories in the Summer Camp (click on the titles).

Impressions and stories from Zsófi Szerda (Subotica, Vojvodina, Malom Festival) regarding the 30th anniversary to come:

"Crazy dancings until dawn. It reminds me that nowadays we dance so rarely... There is no place to release tension... and the meals are always excellent... "

Impressions and stories from Balázs Varga film aesthete, teacher, Mediawave curator (Budapest) regarding the 30th anniversary to come:

"This is a silly question because who asks the grass why does it grow? In reality, this routine is matter of course, when it's picnic time in May people gather at Mediawave..."

Impressions and stories from Béla Kása photographer-musician (Tordas) regarding the 30th anniversary to come: "I love the faces gathering here. With many of them we've known each other for 30 years... It's an ambient that is scarce. I go bo bigger festivals otfen, too, but those are completely impersonal"

Writing by Zsófi Szerda Zsófi (Subotica, Vojvodina) in the weekly paper Seven Days:

"One thing is certain that, and I don't sense it here only, community as mode of existence has the future. Community independent from all politics, national or religious identities, skincolor and other stupid categories. And with the strentgh of such community mountains can be moved. Or hills. Important is the movement, the moving, the togetherness, the creating together and thinking together."

Impressions and stories from Csilla Antal (Subotica, Vojvodina, Malom Festival) regarding the 30th anniversary to come:

"We've been returning here for 10 years. I say we relapse and always bring a couple of new people with us. Whoever comes here will relapse too and will stay because everybody loves the humane and close atmosphere. "

Article by Frigyes Badár, united by many old Mediawave news that offer insight into the event's history (Moly internet portal)

Lightwatch - Komárom / Mediawave

"...Nagy megdöbbenésemre: az ember ismét létezik. Az ideológiák, tudományok által elveszejtett, tán megölt, meggyalázott, megalázott ember. Mondhatjuk az Istenre is, a tudományok által halottnak nyilvánított Isten és ember ezekben a filmekben egyszerűen újra jelentkezik, és szinte föltámad. Vagy a föld is. Világvégi földeket látunk… /Tolnai Ottó/”

A 29. Nemzetközi Film és Zenei Együttlét – Fényírók fesztiválját 2019. április 30. – május 4. között rendezték a komáromi Monostori Erődben. A Fényőrség Komáromba látogat az írók és a molyok segítségével, és betekintést nyújt a fesztivál történetébe is.

Az útra kelésről (s a fesztiválközönség megérkezéséről) már Mikszáth is írt:

"For some, picnic in May is about chevap, pljeskavica, friends, nature and the Jelen Pivo - my picnic is being made by the films, concerts, sarma, lapchanka and the Fortress for over years now, aka Mediawave Gathering in Komárom."

"Talán ez volt az idei Együttlét 3 éve érlelt, legmívesebb közösségi együttműködése. Úgy gondolom, hogy a kísérletezés fázisán átjutva, eljutottak egy világszínvonalú, esti előadásig."

8 May 2019

Kinga Bereczki (Foundation Háromszék, Sepsiszentgyörgy): "How much ORDER and responsibility there is in the apparent relaxation, here is the proof: at the end of the wedding program on the island, Barni and Szabi left as last ones, quite unstable but in a far better mood, that is to say, they only reached the other side of the island. There was a man waiting for them, who collected the last "saunterers“ from the island. It would have been pretty difficult to get back to the fortress when walking and drinking."
