Dear Friends,

i have a really sad announcement to make. Our dear Friend András Selyem (former director of the festival) yesterday passed away. He had an accident in Slovakia 3 days ago, and after 3 days of fight for his life, yesterday he died.
I want to ask you if you can say a small prayer for Him. We lost a great friend, and an extraordinary man.
I’m sorry for the bad news! May the Muuu be with Him!

And the winners are!

OneFest – Canceled

Dear friends,

there will be NO muuuvi tent at OneFest because the festival was canceled. The organizers just disapeared, no one finds them. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

muuuvi is muuuving to Slovakia

It is our pleasure to inform you that, muuuvi will take part on the
ONE FEST, held in Samorin, Slovakia.
There will be a muuuvi tent, where we will screen the best muuuvis
from 2005 until now.
ONE FEST is a much bigger fest, than muuuvi. Freestylerz, Asian Dub
Foundation, Paradise Lost, Anima Sound System, Quimby and many, many,
many more will entertain the party people.
In the muuuvi tent there will be also parties in the night. The
laziest muuuthafuckez in the showbiz will play.
Betyár Animation Group will also be on side, they will make the
animation workshop.
So, if you have time, and money come to SK, to Samorin. It is aprox.
30 km from Bratislava.
See yuuu there.
