Can photography influence society? Join the discussion about photography and activism.

With photographers Jo-Anne McArthur, Filippo Zambon, Kukka Ranta and Kristo Muurimaa (Oikeutta El�imille) and campaign director Veikka Lahtinen from Animalia. Moderated by the director of the festival Anna-Kaisa Rastenberger.

The discussion will be held in English.

�Technical know-how isn�t enough, though. If they are to succeed, the images demand a great deal psychologically from photographer and viewer alike. Those behind the camera must be willing to put every thing on the line, starting with their safety and mental health.�
