30 young people worked in cooperation between 26-28 March 2010 in Győr during the workshops of Passport Control's 17th edition. The workshops entitled "Together through thick and thin" were supported by Norway Grants, with a special theme of Roma and Hungarian youngster's cooperation in arts.

The film group was led by Mária Vizi (Duna TV) and Daróczi János (MTV), the photo group by Judit M. Horváth and Péter Pettendi Szabó photographers, the music group by Ervin and Tibor Orsós from Fláre Beás Banda. The results of the projects were a concert, two concert films and many photo series which will also be available on our website.

The exciting workshop will continue 3 times in 2010, the next occasion being Mediawave Festival in Szombathely. We are expecting applications of young filmmakers, photographers and musicians at passport(at)mediawave(dot)hu.

MEDIAWAVE and PASSPORT CONTROL were invited to Bukarest. In the new building of the Institute of Hungarian Culture supports the presentation of the workshops and the festival by a photo exhibition as well. The pictures of the exhibition are dated in 2009, brought about by Imre Zalka and Radu Igazsag (professor of the University of Fine Arts, Bukarest, internationally known animator and photographer) with archaic photo techniques.

The presentation and the opening of the exhibition took place on 19 February 2010 at the opening ceremony of the new institute, by the cultural ministers of the two countries. Following the opening of the exhibition, a guitar meeting will also take place.

Widamon was awarded 'Best Cinematographer' at the 40. Hungarian Film Week. Passport Control 15 has invited him to teach cinematography during the first days of the workshop. Don't miss the chance! On the picture-  the award winning film - Pater Sparrow: '1'

Since last year the camp has been for the mainly young people at the age of attendees and who are at least 16 years old as a part of the PASSPORT CONTROL International Juvenile Workshop founded in 2006 and organized at foreign countries as well.

The organizers are focusing on professional work and are not taking a hand in pedagogic supervision. They are looking for young people who long to improve their creative skills and have enough fanaticism in order to show their talent.

Breaking the traditions the summer camp is now moved to Kisharsány and is to be a part of the Ördögkatlan Festival 29. July - 9. August. The animators of the Festival (Bárka Theatre, the House of Arts, Pécs) have requested the Mediawave Foundation to organize the programs in Kisharsány. It seems to be a favourable occasion to hold the camp at a domestic and inspirational place.
