We are extremely excited to reveal our programme for the 2019 INTERNATIONAL BELFAST PHOTO FESTIVAL, exploring the theme of "TRUTH AND LIES".
This year, the Festival has taken the current post-truth era as its inspiration, looking at how photography can be used to influence opinion; from carefully choreographed photo-shoots to image manipulation and misrepresentation.
“The camera never lies,” the age-old saying goes, but increasingly consumers are having to be evermore diligent in distinguishing fact from fiction – and photography has a crucial role to play in the era where billions of new images are captured daily and content is consumed at a staggering rate.
Our month-long festival showcases an extensive programme of exhibitions, talks, workshops, screenings, masterclasses, reviews and tours across 24 city-wide locations.
We will be bringing you our top festival highlights over the next few weeks. Check out our programme and let us know what you're planning to visit!
