2015 PROGRAMME PREVIEW

11 T H EDITION ANGKOR PHOTO FESTIVAL & WORKSHOPS

2015 TUTORS Our professional workshops are led by internationally renowned photographers, all of whom volunteer their time and expertise to be a part of the workshops.

Antoine D’AGATA left France in 1983 and remained overseas for the next 10 years. Finding himself in New York in 1990, he pursued photography at the International Center of Photography, where his teachers included Larry Clark and Nan Goldin. While there, he worked as an intern in Magnum’s editorial department. In 1993, he took a four-year break from photography. His first books, De Mala Muerte and Mala Noche, were published in 1998, and Galerie VU’ began distributing his work the year after.

In 2001 he published Hometown and won the Niépce Prize for young photographers. He continued to publish regularly: Vortex and Insomnia appeared in 2003, accompanying his exhibition 1001 Nuits; Stigma was published in 2004, and Manifeste in 2005. In 2004, D’Agata joined Magnum Photos and in the same year, shot his first short film, Le Ventre du Monde (The World’s Belly); this experiment led to his long feature film Aka Ana, shot in 2006 in Tokyo.

Sohrab HURA was born on 17th October 1981 and he grew up changing his ambitions from one exciting thing to another. He started with dreams of growing up and becoming a dog, which later turned to becoming a superhero and then to a veterinarian to a herpetologist to becoming a wild life filmmaker. Today he is a documentary photographer working on long-term projects, after having completed his Masters in Economics.

In 2014, he was named a nominee of Magnum Photos.

Patrick de NOIRMONT is a veteran photographer and editor with more than 35 years experience with the wire services. He started with UPI and was involved in the teams that launched both the AFP and Reuters International Picture Services. In addition to running various wire service bureaus in Paris, Johannesburg and Bangkok, he has covered numerous events including the Yom Kippur war in Israel, the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, the first Gulf War, and the transition in South Africa from apartheid. Assignments sent him to Somalia, Rwanda, Burundi and Zaire. In Asia, he witnessed the military advances of the Taliban in Afghanistan, the handover of Hong Kong, the coup in Cambodia and the fall of President Suharto. He has worked part time for the Associated Press in Paris until 2010. Patrick de Noirmont is now based in Thailand where he has worked for the Rockefeller foundation and various NGO’s. He has been part of the free educational workshop of the Angkor Photo festival since 2005.

Suthep KRITSANAVARIN is one of Thailand’s leading photojournalists. His award-winning work Si Phan Don has been published in the New York Times, the International Herald Tribune, National Geographic, Geo, Aera and Japan Times. Suthep has covered social and humanitarian issues in Southeast Asia for two decades, and bases his work on his firm belief that a photojournalist must act as a conscientious observer of society and culture, contributing to social change on a local and global level. He achieves these goals by working on long-term projects so as to build deep understanding on the topic. He is now represented by Cosmos Photos and is working on ‘Eye on Burma’, a long-term project for Southeast Asia Press Aliance.

Kosuke OKAHARA grew up

in Tokyo, starting his career as a photographer after college where he studied education. He left for Colombia in 2003 and started documenting the lives of people who live at the bottom of the society ladder for his personal project. He also works in his native country. One of his projects about Japanese girls who self-harm received the W. Eugene Smith Fellowship. He has been honoured with several awards and grants including Getty Images Grants for Editorial Photography, Joop Swart Masterclass of World Press Photo, PDN’s 30 emerging photographers to watch, and Sony World Photography Awards. His photos have also been exhibited in various venues including galleries and international photo festivals. Most recently, he was awarded the 2014 Pierre & Alexandra Boulat Award.

Ian TEH has published three monographs, Undercurrents (2008), Traces (2011) and Confluence (2014). His

work is part of the permanent collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH) and the Hood Museum in the USA. Selected solo shows include the Jack Shainman Gallery in New York in 2004, Flowers in London in 2011 and the Kunsthal Museum in Rotterdam in 2012. He has received several honours, including the Abigail Cohen Fellowship in Documentary Photography and the Emergency Fund from the Magnum Foundation. In 2013 he was elected by the Open Society Foundations to exhibit in New York at the Moving Walls Exhibition. In 2010, the acclaimed literary magazine Granta published a 10-year retrospective of his work in China. www.ianteh.com

I PA HO NG KONG & TA I WA N SHOWCASE Following a hiatus in 2014, we are resuming our programme's Guest Curator Showcase.

This year, we have invited Kevin Wy Lee, founder of Invisible Photographer Asia, to curate a selection of work to be screened at a special showcase during the festival.

CUR ATOR ' S NOT E When we talk about photography from East Asia, China and Japan usually dominates conversations and we are exposed too much from these two territories. The invitation by Angkor Photo Festival to curate an evening of slideshows is an opportunity I hope to take to introduce great photography and photographers from Taiwan and Hong Kong to the young Southeast Asian audiences at the festival.

This showcase, featuring 18 photographers of varying experience, age and motivations, is an introductory overview than a comprehensive survey. Logos and symbols from each photographer’s time and place (and proximity to China in every sense of the word) are visible and manifest themselves in various discourses on identity and existentialism.

OUTREAC H ACT I V IT I E S

11TH AN JA LI PH OTO WO R K SHO PS Initiated in 2005 by Magnum photographer Antoine d’Agata, the Anjali Photo Workshops engages the children of Anjali House in creative expression through photography. The workshop encourages and nurtures the children’s innate creativity – an important part of education, and a key tool in fostering scholastic development, selfconfidence, and social interaction.

Guided by volunteer photographers, the children are brought on special excursions to different places, and the older participants also get to bring their cameras home to photograph their lives, friends and families. As always, the children’s photographs will be showcased on ‘Children’s Day’ during the festival, a special event which brings the kids together with festival attendees.

We work with Anjali House, an independent NGO founded by the Angkor Photo Association in 2005. Today, it provides food, shelter and education to over 110 underprivileged children in Siem Reap. [ www.anjali-house.com ]

SUPPORTED BY
