Last updated 20 May
An overview mostly for myself in order to keep track of all the activities.
IN PROGRESS – keep checking the programme where new items seem to be appearing all the time.
I attended this for the first time last year, for about four days, and it was such a great experience that I decided to go again this year, for the entire festival.
In-between the below activities, there are about 20 photo exhibitions around town. This year, the theme is “MENSCH”. Not my favourite subject. Definitely not my favourite species. I don’t like photos that have people in them. But I will try to see at least some of the exhibitions, and who knows, perhaps I will even try to make some photos of my own with people in them. Or not.
One exhibition I will definitely want to visit is this one in the Ponton Pop-up near Kranichhaus: Seminar Umweltfotografie – Bilder machen Zukunftssicherung – Abschlußprojekte, since I am considering signing up for the seminar which begins in September this year. Unfortunately, due to workshops, I am unable to attend the opening and other related events, except a talk on Tuesday: Sonntag 31.5. um 16 Uhr eine Führung, oder alternativ am Montag 1.6. um 11 Uhr die Vernissage und am selben Tag noch einmal um 14 Uhr eine Führung. Außerdem einen Horizonte Talk am Dienstag 12.30 Uhr machen und dann im Anschluss eine Führung durch die Ausstellung um 14 Uhr.
Other exhibitions to prioritise: Esther Horvath – Danger Islands;
Thursday: Travel to Zingst early. Check in to hotel. Visit some of the exhibitions. In the evening – unrelated to the festival – session 3 of a Webinar with Blende2-Hamburg. So hopefully, the hotel internet is up to a three-hour zoom session.
Friday: 08.50-19.10: All-day boat tour to Hiddensee.
Saturday: So far, no definite plans – perhaps Ahrenshoop. Perhaps even this from 04.00-05.00.
Sunday: 10.00-18.00 Workshop Schwarz-Weiß Hochkontrast.
Then homework, presumably.
Monday: 10.00-14.00 – Workshop Schwarz-Weiß Hochkontrast continued.
Afterwards visit some of the exhibitions.
17.00 Vortrag: Liebe zur Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografie
Tuesday morning: Visit some of the exhibitions, and definitely this talk at 12.30-13.30 Glaspavillon / zwischen Aparthotel und Kurabgabe, Seestraße 56.
14.00-21.00 Workshop Stralsund Schwarz-Weiß
Then homework (? – late ….. , or very early Wednesday – ???)
Wednesday: 9.00-12.00 – Workshop Stralsund Schwarz-Weiß continued
In the afternoon there is a choice between this Streetfoto Seminar 13.00-15.00, or – more likely this talk from 14.00-15.30, or a trip somewhere (Prerow?), or just a rummage on the beach in Zingst.
From 20.00-21.00 there is this about landscape photography (though not a passion of mine).
Thursday: 10.00-17.00 Worshop Motiv Finden
If no homework, and if any energy left this workshop from 18.00 to 22.00.
Friday: 10.00-17.00 – Workshop Motiv Finden continued
Saturday: 11.00-14.00 Seeadler Wanderung.
Afternoon – catch up on photos, feet up? Or this from 14.30-15.30.
From 17.30-21.00 this might be an option – or not.
Sunday: To be decided – Catch up or wind down – Althagen? Wustrow? Prerow? Or simply – NOTHING? And packing :-(. Big suitcase ready for pick-up early Monday.
Monday: return to Berlin
