Flash Forward Festival Boston

EMERGING PHOTOGRAPHERS FROM CANADA, THE UNITED KINGDOM & THE UNITED STATES:
 JUNE 7-10, 2012

Welcome to the second annual Flash Forward Festival Boston, an extension of The Magenta Foundation’s successful Flash Forward Annual Competition for Emerging Photographers. Acknowledged as a critically important vanguard for introducing emerging talent from Canada, the UK and the US to a global audience, the annual competition continues to seek new ways to engage those interested in photography. The addition of this festival component is designed to provide opportunities for anybody interested in emerging photography, the evolving image industry surrounding it, and the self-publishing phenomenon.

Set within the Boston cityscape, the five-day festival is based out of the Fairmont Battery Wharf, offering an in-depth experience through organized networking events and educational programming that brings internationally respected industry professionals together to share their knowledge with the next generation of photographers. Programming includes curated indoor and outdoor exhibitions, a Harborwalk exhibition series featuring work from local galleries, along with lectures, panel discussions, and nightly events. This official program guide contains all the information that you will need to plan your itinerary.

If you are an emerging photographer attending the festival, we hope that your experience here provides you with new opportunities, new professional contacts and new friends. If you are a member of the curious public interested in supporting a new generation of exceptional photographers, then you’ve come to the right place.
