2o1o Angkor Photo Festival Press Kit 2o1o
6th edition - November 2o to 27 2o1o SIEM REAP – CAMBODIA The first photo festival created in Southeast Asia Created in 2oo5, the Angkor Photo Festival is the first photography festival to be held in Southeast Asia. Each year the weeklong event organizes exhibitions and outdoor slideshows by celebrated international and emerging Asian photographers in Siem Reap. The temples of Angkor become a hub for photographers to gather in a spirit of creativity and sharing. The strong educational goals of the Angkor Photo Festival set it apart from other photography events. During their stay, renowned photographers tutor emerging Asian photographers in the free Angkor Photo Workshops, while the festival operates its own outreach program, the Anjali Children’s Photo Workshops. Consistent with the festival’s mission of highlighting emerging Southeast Asian photographers, of the 11o photographers exhibiting in 2o1o, fifty are from Asia. The work is curated by two well-known figures in photography, Yumi Goto and Antoine d’Agata, as well as by Françoise Callier, the Program Director of the Angkor Photo Festival. All events at the festival are entirely free of charge !
