Concepts of today and tomorrow at the hands of different and influential professionals from Brazil, England, Holland, South Africa, United States, Peru, Italy, Spain, France and Argentina.
An eclectic and diverse group that has been discussing the new multimedia platforms, the preservation of images, the philosophy of photography and how we can understand and make the tour of these guidelines and their paradoxes that determine a future already present among us and that is becoming almost past !

The second block of shows is what we call night circuit composed of projections on the streets of cities, from 19h to 23h, with videos and photographs of selected papers that discuss the organization so far, the future, photography and image.
Among the lectures, interviews and projections you can find a variety of looks ranging from one extreme to another in our country: South Wind brings the table gauchos Luiz FELIZARDO and Leopoldo Plentzia Curitiba with John Urban , the Mesa Contemporary Daily brings the Pará Mariano Klautau , Roberta Carvalho and Ricardo Macedo .

Baden addresses part of this future illuminated by the screens of cell phones and smartphones. But ... there is no future image that can be discussed without talking about appropriation, recycling and reframing ... It's time for the North American Umbrian Penelope that made her cauldron Flickr images!
Stuffing more, this true-babel imagery after the festival reflects the diversity of photography - we have two photojournalists Gustavo PELIZZON and COIMBRA Custodio , who will show us how the day-to-day in the era of "Shoots and Shoots" world of journalism while artists Claudia JAGUARIBE and Caius Reisewitz , both on the walls of galleries in and outside Brazil, tell us about their work at this time of transition and landscape photography.
