This year, the festival is affirming its international reach by introducing a new dynamic: for the first time, a photographer has been invited to take up a residency abroad, based on the year's theme. This project marks an important step in the development of the festival. Working in conjunction with the residencies held in Normandy, it will enrich the programme each year, offering the public a broader and more multi-faceted interpretation of the issues raised by the theme.
as part of the festival, the photographer Myriam Boulosfrom the Magnum agency, is leading a creative residency on this year's theme: intimacy. Produced off-site from Beirut, this production is a continuation of her work on Lebanese youth, which she has been documenting for several years through a sensitive exploration of intimate life in a territory marked by an omnipresent war.
