Ahead of us there are two days of one of the most fascinating and, at the same time, controversial forms of photoreportage: Fotokasty, which are multimedia materials combining photography, film, and a soundtrack.

We have a week-long marathon of meetings in the Klub Pauza basements ahead of us! “Reading the Image” is a chance to meet and talk with publishers, authors of photographic books, and multimedia artists.

And for professional photographers and those who want to become one, Krystian Bielatowicz will present the new MagnesPhoto portal.

We regret to inform you that due to the terrible weather conditions, the flood, and the complete paralysis in Kraków, The Ruby Suns – despite their sincere wishes – will not be able to appear at the concert which was to be held tonight at Forty Kleparz at 9 pm.

As we have already mentioned, the ceremonial prize-giving for the Photographic Publication of the Year 2009 has been postponed until 29th May, 4:00pm at the Galeria Camelot & Galeria Fundacji Imago Mundi (place and time may still change).

We hope that the weather will not discourage you, and that you will come to the Association of Art Historians in Krakow at 6 pm to hear two inaugural lectures for the History of Photography cycle of meetings.

And in the evening, come and join us at the concert by the New Zealand group, The Ruby Suns!

Because of the flood alert in Kraków, many institutions have changed their opening hours or will remain closed for several days, including those where Photomonth in Kraków exhibitions are being held.

Please check our website and those of the museums and galleries hosting Photomonth in Kraków exhibitions carefully.

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience.

We would like to invite everyone who planned today with a book on photography in hand to Galeria Camelot on 29th May, where, after the meeting on the debut Polish publication of Susan Sontag’s book, Regarding the Pain of Others, the final of the Photographic Publication of the Year Competition will take place at 16:00, organised by the Galeria f5 & the Księgarnia Fotograficzna.

The festival’s first ten days are behind us, but Photomonth in Kraków still has nearly two weeks of events, meetings and exhibitions to go!
Today is the final day of the screening in the Manggha Japanese Museum of Art and Technology.

We welcome you today at 7:00 p.m. to the Manggha Japanese Museum of Art and Technology for screenings of Lotte Jacobi – A Film Portrait directed by Gary Samson, and Annie Liebovitz – A Life through the Lens by Barbara Liebovitz.

We also remind you that the post-competition Press Photo of the Year 2009 exhibit is still going on at the Stained-glass Museum on ul. Krasinskiego, under the patronage of Sigma ProCentrum and the SDP Press Photography Club.

With the weatherman predicting another rainy weekend and next to nobody heading out of town, you might consider actively spending your time in the city. Today’s guests at Photomonth will be: Beata ŁyĹźwa-Sokół – “Gazeta Wyborcza” (Poland), Krzysztof Miller – photographer, “Gazeta Wyborcza” (Poland), Harry Hardie – HOST Gallery (UK), Mikołaj Komar – “Kmag” (Poland), Jim Casper – “Lens Culture” (France), Karolina Sulej – “Exklusiv” (Poland), Łukasz Trzciński – photographer, Visavis.pl, Imago Mundi Foundation (Poland), Anna Theiss – “Dziennik” (Poland), Martin Kollar – photographer (Slovakia), Aleksandra Vajd – photographer (Slovenia), Filip Nidenthal – “PodróĹźe” (Poland), Robert Serek – “VICE” (Poland), Sebastian Kustra – “FUTU” (Poland), and Bill Kouwenhoven – “HotShoe Magazine” (Germany).

The time has come for the Portfolio Review!

Sigma ProCentrum would like to invite all lovers of photography and mountaineering to an author’s meeting with Jacek Kudłatym, which is taking place today at 17:00 at the Klub Masada (ul. Skawińska 2). The meeting, part of the Photomonth in Krakow festival, will be accompanied by Kudłaty’s photography exhibition Wspin Shot.
