Thank you to all our PARTNERS

ALL our PARTNERS

A special thanks to AFP Agence-France Presse, a leading global news agency we've been collaborating with over the past few years.

The Festival in the area and the many other collaborations all over Italy

This year the Festival added a new exhibit to the official program in the small town of Montanaso, just outside of Lodi, where we showed the work of the winners of the FREEDOM Open call organized by the association Roma Fotografia in collaboration with the magazine IL FOTOGRAFO, TWM Factory, Bresciani Visual Art, Camera Service Centro Autorizzato Canon Roma, and The Walkman Magazine, with the support of the Biennale di Fotografia Femminile.

Always at the side of the NGOs

In this 12th annual edition, we paid homage to Gino Strada, to the work and commitment of EMERGENCY in Afghanistan.

RESET

A project realized in collaboration with Sistema Festival Fotografia - a network created in 2017 through the will of five Italian photography festivals- and with the support of the Ministry of Culture.

Travelling Festival

Exhibits ideated in Lodi that go on the road

Our exhibits have been displayed all over Italy: Bergamo, Vigevano, Ancona, Cremona, San Donato Milanese are just some of the cities where we organized the "Traveling Festival" with the objective of reaching the wider public that hasn't had the opportunity to visit the Festival in Lodi.

Collaborations with the publishing house EMUSE

This year we have also worked with Emuse to create the catalogue of this 12th annual edition.

A new series of books was born: it's called FOCUS. Every year we'll publish a new edition devoted to the work of one of the photographers who has been exhibited at the Festival.

The first number is dedicated to the project by Nicolo' Filippo Rosso.
