Rome International Festival of Photography 2009
The 8th edition of the famous International Photography Festival is about to commence in Rome. After several disputes and revamping it, there is no doubt that today it is one of the most important showcases for photographers, paparazzi, artists and photography lovers the world over. The festival will take place in the famous Palazzo delle Esposizioni and is promoted by the Rome city council, produced by Zoneattive and directed by Marco Delogu. The festival is a European reference in the photography world and the event will begin on May 29th and will extend until August 2nd.
Last year the main theme was everyday life, but this year’s edition is based on the joy of life under the heading “Declinazioni della Gioia” (declinations of Joy): the displayed photographs arouse positive emotions, smiles and happiness.
Many famous photographers will be participating: some of them are already winners of past editions, such as Giorgio Barrera under the title “Through the Window”, or Nan Goldin and David Monteleone with “From the Body”. They all show their own vision of happiness through their photographic work.
In addition, many academies and institutes such as the French Academy, the American Academy and the Royal Academy of Spain will participate too.
This edition counts on the following awards: Baume & Mercier Award, La ILA Award, the Book Award, and the new Portfolio Award, an important prize for young and up and coming photographers.
