what's new

fotojatka 2012 teaser is out!

This year we have – apart from the usual festival spot – also a film teaser to be screened in cinemas weeks before the festival. While the teaser uses orchestral music to accompany selected author's works, the festival spot will be used only at the festival night and uses an electronic "retro-style" version of the orchestral minipiece from the teaser and instead of the photos there will be a tiny story.

The animation was made and the music was composed by Jan Flaška, piglets were designed by Milan 'Pinta' Krištůfek.

We're in it up to our heads again

...which means that we're very busy preparing the new, improved, 2012 version of Fotojatka for you. We are working on the slideshows with the authors, we've booked the cinemas, we're working on the new web, making leaflets and posters, looking around for outdoor places to screen the slideshows from previous years, arraning the details of lectures with great photographers, searching up and down to get money to pay for all the fuss...

So please be patient and stay with us!
