Noorderlicht Festival

Noorderlicht International Photography Festival



The theme of this festival for 2013 is 'TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT'

The overview on their website is:

'Can the roots of our current economic and financial crisis be made tangible through photography? The Noorderlicht International Photofestival 2013 aims to peer into what has caused our current state of affairs, particularly into the so-called “1%” and its financial and political power at the expense of the “99%”. For this challenging theme, Noorderlicht calls upon the photographic community to help us build an inspired, profound and heartfelt exhibition.

The Sequel - Dutch photographers only

A second theme has been announced - open to Dutch photographers only - which loosely translates as 'The Sequel'. Seven Dutch photographers have been selected and commissioned to return to a previously photographed subject of their own, and by making new work based on the old, to follow up, deepen and re-examine.'

I think this festival is something we should look into a little bit more as the theme is something that could be translated by way of photography is such a wide way.
