Inland, in partnership with Hahnemühle, will take over Le Printemps during the first days of the opening week of the festival, transforming the iconic venue into the Inland x Hahnemühle House. We are thrilled to invite you for two special events bringing together photographers, industry professionals, photography enthusiasts, Arles residents, around one idea : creating spaces for conversations around documentary photography.

→ Monday 6 July - 7:00 PM | The Battle
A direct visual showdown between six teams of photographers from different collectives and agencies. Come and support your favorite team in this high-energy event !

→ Tuesday 7 July - 4:30 PM | The Speed-dating
Make special connections with 10 experts from the visual world. This format is designed to spark real conversations, and maybe the collaboration you did not know you were looking for. Images will be only showed at the end, with a drink in hand.
Applications are free and are still open, until June 15.

The online platform Dodho Magazine published an in-depth feature on Tim Franco's long-term documentary project ‘Metamorpolis’. The project is a five-year study of Chongqing's extraordinary urban transformation, driven by Three Gorges Dam displacement. Shot on medium-format film between 2009 and 2014, the work documents the human cost of one of the twenty-first century's most significant and least-reported social upheavals. The Metamorpolis monograph remains available at pendantcetemps.fr.
