The 8th edition of Cortona On the Move international festival of photography opens to the public on July 12 and runs until September 30, 2018. As usual, dozens of exhibitions will be located in and around the historic town centre and the DeMedici fortress of Girifalco in Italy. Throughout the summer there will be exhibitions, events and discussions with leading lights of the profession.

The festival is organised by Associazione Culturale ONTHEMOVE with the artistic direction of Arianna Rinaldo. This year, the artistic director chose to focus attention on female photographers, those photojournalists, artists and producers of documentaries who investigate our world to bring us intimate stories and worldly narratives that must be told.

For the first time ARENA – Video and Beyond, sponsored by Canon Cinema Eos, will feature in the festival. It is a new category of Cortona On the Move that presents experimental video, installations and multiplatform work created by photographers that employ digital stills, film and all related technology. The section is directed and curated by Liza Faktor and Amber Terranova.

The full line-up and programme of events can be found at Cortona On the Move’s website here. Here’s a rundown of the Magnum activity you can expect to see.
