Fiumefreddo Photo Festival

The theme of the first edition of Fiumefreddo Photo Festival is Midway: between past and future.

We want to face the inevitability of time by trying to bind it, as far as possible, to lasting solid points. Traits of discontinuity that tell current moment by inserting it in a frame of perspective, that renew the attention on what is still too precious to be lost, that trace profiles of possible futures by updating their suggestion.

The last two terrible, unpredictable and intense years clearly reflect the measure of turbulence: the only graft of unpredictability capable to ripply the linear flow of conventional time. The profound social, political and economic mutations call into question what until recently was the established theorem.

In this context, the photographer’s critical, creative and sensitive gaze must propose original and stimulating furtherances through stories that can provide unknown interpretations of the aforementioned epochal changes.

Therefore we are looking for stories of the past, present and future with a strongly emotional cut.
