PASSPORT CONTROL 8 IN SIBERIA 

On 31 August, 2008 a delegation from  MEDIAWAVE  (with Pusker Péter - music programme organiser, Szabó Péter - a leader of the photo workshop, Mészáros Csaba - ethnographer and Hartyándi Jenő Festival Director) went to Siberia, where they held a film and photo workshop in Novosibirsk, a city about 5000 km far away from here, within the framework of "Meetings in Siberia" International Documentary Film Festival, in co-operation with CINEMA GARRET Workshop, for about 50 university students of film and photography. After the workshop, members of the staff became members of a film producing crew and travelled 600 km farther to the Altai region, to make a documentary film about the culture of this "blank space" of the world, with the guidance of ARTEM, a throat-singer, who had been introduced and become popular in the Festival this year.
