FLAGSHIP PROGRAMMES
Each year, the Mediawave Film and Music Gathering brings together filmmakers, musicians, and artists from across the globe in a one-of-a-kind celebration of creativity in Hungary.
More than just a festival, Mediawave is a vibrant community experience – combining independent cinema, live music, workshops, and cultural exchange in an inspiring, offbeat atmosphere. Audiences can expect bold, original films, surprising artistic collaborations, and a strong sense of connection that goes beyond the screen or stage.
Whether you're an emerging director, experimental musician, or simply a lover of arts with a global perspective, Mediawave is a must-see and must-join experience.
Held every spring, Mediawave attracts bold voices from Europe and beyond – including outstanding works from the Euro-Mediterranean region. At the latest edition, the Best Short Fiction Award went to the Spanish film You Will Be a Man, a moving exploration of gender roles and identity.
The festival showcases a wide range of genres and forms, from intimate documentaries to experimental music films and dance-driven visual storytelling.
