A great Sziget 2011 Unofficial Video Documentary

Sziget News — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 09:14:41 +0000

Here’s a really great unofficial Sziget 2011 video documentary, kinda summing up a part of our favorite festival’s mood. Or, in the words of the authors:

There are lots of videos out there about the concerts at Sziget. We chose instead to make this ‘visual documentary’ to synthesize the ENTIRE Sziget Universe that every year exists for a week on Obudai Island.

From the concerts to the camp life, from the Stars performing to the ‘normal’ people screaming with joy, the food, the street artists, and everything in between. We try to show every aspect of what makes Sziget so special to us.

We hope that if you attended the festival this year you’ll feel yourself transported back to that island – even just for ten minutes.

If you weren’t there with us and are getting ready to watch, then we know that this video will give you a good reason for coming next year!

PLEASE. Don’t be passive – get back into ‘Sziget-mode’ and let us know what you think! “Like” and share this video with all your friends!

We were not hired to make this, nor were we paid – we just love Sziget and decided last minute to make this! A whole new world of possibilities has opened, however, and we’re hoping that if people like what we’ve made ‘on our own time’ they might help us to go next year and do something even better!

Read the rest to see the documentary.

Just to remember the fabulous days of Sziget 2011, here’s the new video by White Lies, “The Power & The Glory”.

It was filmed at Sziget 2011 and you will probably feel the urge to play it over and over again. Enjoy!

Festival Memories #7

Sziget has been over for two weeks now, but your Sziget accounts keep on coming to Szigetnews.com. Keep them coming through the contact section, or via comment.

Here’s the latest we received, from Szigetnews friend Kevin:

Â Sziget was good as always, but it was better the last couple of yearsâ€¦ Prices
have gone up extremely over the last two years. Line-up was a nice 90ies-feel
line-up, but weâ€™re living 10 years later…

Two friends of mine were robbed. Both were sleepinh in there tents when people
came into their tents to get stuff out! Thatâ€™s not your own fault!

Donâ€™t know if Iâ€™ll go again. Maybe Iâ€™ll try the EXIT-festival next
yearâ€¦ But itâ€™s a hard choice to make. Main reason to go to Sziget is the
massive possibilities to chill in tons of places!

Festival memories #2

Looks like the festival wasn’t that great for some of our readers. Here’s Niall Cleary’s opinion:

” what a load of rubbish!!!pendulum and carl cox cancelling, justice playin at 12 pm, campsites un-safe and the mood at this years festival was nothing on previous years..yes maiden rocked and REM surprised but seriously the organizers have to take a long hard look at improving next years line-up. apparently 5 days meant a stronger line-up…not convinced at all…wont be telling any stories of praise upon returning home”

Our reader gianpiero wants the festival to return to its usual 7-day format, and also wants “a better programme”

How about you? Szigetnews is still waiting for this year’s festival stories, pics and videos from you – post them as comments or use the contact section.
