Planches Contact Festival

Depuis sa création Planches Contact Festival, le festival de photographie de Deauville, soutient la création à travers un programme de résidences où la Normandie, protagoniste ou décor, devient chaque année au printemps le territoire d’exploration pour les artistes invités.

The twenty or so artists from all over the world, established or emerging, are encouraged to seek new ways of looking at and rendering reality. The festival program is built around their new works, produced during their residencies and presented in specially designed installations, in locations chosen according to their nature. Photography thus invests the entire city, from the spaces of the Franciscaines museum complex and the Point de Vue to the beach, in authorial journeys that redraw public space and modify its perception.

Alongside the exhibitions, the festival offers a programme aimed at all audiences, including regular meetings with artists, conferences and round tables, competitions, initiatives for young people and school groups, as well as portfolio readings, workshops and workshops for photographers and the informed public.
