Photo exhibition December 7-14, 2008


The photo exhibitions could be visited a week before the festival already. Visits were free of charge and also during the festival everybody could visit the exhibitions for free.

We have shown three special photo exhibitions in the spacious foyers and corridors of the theatre.

One was an overview of the best 120 images from members of BVNF taken during the last three years, layed out in a special arrangement.

Then there was the exhibition of the ARGUS photo competition 2008, with the work of all 60 finalists and of course the winning pictures for each category.

The third one was the exhibition ‘Biodiversity in the Province Antwerpen – Countdown 2010’. This exhibition has shown 25 caracteristic species for the region. The exhibition is the result of the cooperation between Ankona and BVNF and travels through the Province of Antwerpen.
