PASSPORT CONTROL 9 International Music Workshops within MOVEAST International Film Festival (Pécs): International Blues Workshop, Folk Blues Workshop, MEDIAWAVE Undergound Workshop
This year too, MEDIAWAVE International Visual Art Foundation has been charged with organizing music programs at MOVEAST International Film Festival. The unique character of these additional programmes comes from the fact you won't only enjoy a series of concerts at the festival, but you can also follow step by step the work of the music workshops, where every circumstance is provided for the musicians to cooperate creatively with each other. MEDIAWAVE has been organizing music workshops for six years, earlier within its festival, later within its camps and other occasions. These workshops give the participants the chance to update their musical way of thinking, get to know each other and learn famous and less famous musicians' art methods. It can also help finding new ways of music by teaching different methods of composition, instrumentation, structuring bands, and getting new impulsion.

The workshop became popular among the audience, that's why it had another edition soon after the Festival: in MEDIAWAVE International Summer Art Camp, where György Ferenczi as the main teacher and other guest teachers from the Visegrad countries led the workshop's Hungarian and foreign musician participants.
