BROKEN LIGHTS OF YUGOSLAVIA EXHIBITION
2012 is the 21st Anniversary of the Croatian war of Independence and the 20th Anniversary of the Bosnian War of Independence. To mark these milestones the 25th Foyle Film Festival, in association with the Open the Shutters and Teaching Divided Histories projects, is delighted to present an exhibition of landmark images from these conflicts by acclaimed Argentinean photographer Emmanuel Ortiz. BROKEN LIGHTS OF YUGOSLAVIA contains over 100 images of the Balkan conflicts and charts the violence and horror of these recent events, as well as the enduring triumph of
the human spirit of survival. The images are presented by War Photo, a Dubrovnik based gallery of conflict imagery, at Foyle Film Festival, as part of the Open the Shutters project. Open the Shutters is a Nerve Centre project for Culture Company 2013 which explores ways in which conflict and conflicted spaces have been portrayed both here and internationally, and provides opportunities for learning and education around conflict in Northern Ireland, Croatia and Berlin.
SPECIAL TALK BY WADE GODDARD: Conflict Photographer and War Photo founder Wade Goddard will present his illustrated journey from growing up in New Zealand to a life changing visit to Croatia in 1992 which has catalyzed a deep engagement with the craft, ethics and purpose of visually documenting conflict and led to the establishment of War Photo as a centre for conflict imagery internationally.
SPECIAL TALK BY MARK McCAULEY: BBC news cameraman Mark McCauley will guide participants through his personal experience of the Balkan Conflict, giving an illustrated insight to his role on the ground throughout the Siege of Sarajevo and the wider war. Mark will discuss the practical realities of living and working as cameraman inside a war zone, as well as giving real insight into the ethical and creative context of his work.
