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.
