Festivals 2025
Rencontres d’Arles
July 7 – Octobre 5 — Arles, France
Every summer since 1970, over the course of more than forty exhibitions at various of the city’s exceptional heritage sites, the Rencontres d’Arles has been a major influence in dissiminating the best of world photography and playing the role of a springboard for photographic and contemporary creative talents.
Cortona On The Move
July 11 – November 3 — Cortona, Italy
The international photography festival Cortona On The Move has been held since 2011 in the Tuscan town of Cortona, in the province of Arezzo. A protagonist of photographic production at the international level, the festival is a point of reference for photographers, curators, authors, critics, as well as the public.
Unseen Amsterdam
Sept 18 – September 21 — Amsterdam Netherlands
In 2025 Unseen will move to the NDSM Loods, a monumental industrial cathedral of grand proportions on an old shipping wharf in an area that has been completely redeveloped over the past decade.
The venue is fully in line with Unseen’s known and beloved character and atmosphere, and perhaps even more impressive. What’s more, the venue is easier to reach by both public transport (a short and stunning ferry ride directly from central station) and car. The venue is surrounded by many restaurants and bars, covering the spectrum from top end fine dining to bars built from old sea containers.
My Time Out Notes
I love writing little stories as chaperonne for my photo’s, like about that lovely breakfast at Cobenhagen in an artist coffeeshop. I publish in Substack (@hansvanzanten). But you can read first-hand when you sign-in for the Time Out Notes. And yes, don’t forget to see my shop page. Your wall will love it.
