The first Festival Miden, which took place in the city of Kalamata in summer 2005 (from 8th to 10th of July 2005) was by all means successful and promising, giving a real zest for moving on. The three-day events included a two days screening program at  Amfeia’s square and a musical concert at Agioi Apostoloi, both areas of the Historic Centre of Kalamata, Greece. The screening program included 44 art videos of various techniques and styles, created by forty Video Artists from all over Greece and abroad. The audience embraced the Festival not only with its lively presence but also with its support by all possible means.

Curatorial team: Giorgos Dimitrakopoulos (director), Gioula Papadopoulou (curator), Margarita Stavraki (curator)
