Passport Control 18's workshop films and photos are already available on the online film archive of MEDIAWAVE. The acoustic ethno music workshop's concert film is under editing and will come soon as well. Films are available here, and the photos here!

Romungro Fiúk, a band from Csorna that counts as MEDIAWAVE Festival's own house band, and that got a push in the acoustic-international ethno workshops of György Ferenczi, boosting their musical development, was recently awarded by FRINGE Pécs2010 Festival's special award.
