The PHOTOGRAPHIC MOVIE is a tool for creative experimentation and diffusion that can offer new dimensions to those who use photography as a personal field of expression.
The LNP AWARD is dedicated to this format, which continues to develop and explore the photographic image. Created at the initiative of the french association FREELENS and in partnership with the association CRL10 - Espace Jemmapes, it is awarded each year at the festival LES NUITS PHOTO, in partnership with SAIF.
This award is international, and concerns all photographic writings; maximum duration: 45 minutes (including credits). All authors are invited to participate, whether confirmed, emerging, student or amateur (directors, photographers, editors, artists, journalists, etc.).
The winning project will receive a prize of 1,000 euros from SAIF & COPIE PRIVÉE, the LNP Trophy, as well as a broadcast on the collaborative media FISHEYE MAGAZINE & 9 LIVES MAGAZINE, and a screening at the collaborative festivals PROMENADES PHOTOGRAPHIQUES DE VENDÔME & LES NUITS DE PIERREVERT.
Other awards will be given in 2022:
- the DIAPÉRO AWARD, rewarding the best documentary photographic film, awarded by the DIAPÉRO team (association defending documentary and photojournalistic photographic film) and endowed with a broadcast in the media MEDIAPART and a broadcasting right of 500€
- the LA CASSETTE AWARD, for the best sound creation of a film, awarded by the team of LA CASSETTE (an associative space dedicated to sound creation created by the TRANSMISSION collective) and endowed with sound equipment (to be defined)
