Visa pour l'Image is an event and I like events...
They present stories or anthologies of a photographer's work, reporting on wars, nature, the environment, people, religious issues, and social phenomena, plus the great scourges of our time.
Campo Santo is the venue for the evening screenings. The program includes a chronological review of the news stories from the previous year, reports and features on social issues, war, stories that have made the news and others that have been kept quiet.
Perpignan is the place where professionals can discuss their problems, debating issues involved in producing and using pictures and the future of the profession. The symposium and 'meet the photographer' sessions cover a wide range of questions.
The first goal of the festival is to reinforce the importance and value of press photography.During the professional week in Perpignan, thousands of professional photojournalists are offered an opportunity to meet with their peers, talk about their work or their profession.
