Zac's Technique in the Street: The first theme exclusively focuses on street photography. A "zac" shot conveys the essence of the story while only showing a piece of it.

The Jury/Spokesperson

Our Festival is not for profit. The goal is to discover and show images that are true testimonies of our time, without cultural stereotypes. Images that are not clichés. Images by photographers who document meaningful examples of life, stripped of all artifice. Images that awaken connections, provoke insights and inspire optimism too.

We turn to photographers who are actively involved in daily life - yet specifically pursue street photography, documentary photography, and photojournalism without distinction between professionals and non-professionals.

We appeal to all photographers with a soul, because this trait is the impetus for all important forms of artistic, political and social expression. And all serious photographers reflect this trinity in their craft.

A heartfelt thanks to Patty DeJuneas for making this second edition of the Festival possible

It was possible to make the first edition of the Festival thanks to the generosity of Fabio Balestra
