INTRODUCTION Since its first edition in 2011, Circulation(s) Festival of Young European Photography has been held in the “Parc de Bagatelle”, in Paris. Thanks to Fabienne Giboudeaux support, (Deputy Mayor in charge of the green spaces and to Sylvie Depondt and Christophe Chaumont at the Environment and Green spaces Direction (DEVE), the Festival has evolved into a major event in the French photo industry. With 4 consecutive years of success and a growing recognition coming from the audience and the media, the Circulation(s) festival is gaining momentum by setting up last year the exhibition at the “CENTQUATRE-PARIS”. This center located within Paris, recognized for its qualitative cultural program will give the festival a great exposure and a chance to be visited by a wide audience. For the fifth year, the Circulation(s) festival is the only one focusing on Young European Photography by exhibiting a photographic dialogue about Europe. Aiming at scouting and developing talents coming from the young European photographic scene, the festival, organized by Fetart, (a non-profit organization created in 2005), also wishes to connect and federate with partners promoting the same ambition: helping the young photographers to step into the professional market and exhibit an innovative contemporary artistic production. The festival programming is staged with the Jury’s selection - made after an international call for submission, the selection from an invited school and one from an invited gallery as well as the selection promoted by this year’s sponsor, Nathalie Herschdorfer, director of the “Musée des Beaux-Arts du Locle”, in Switzerland. Along with a significant exhibition hosting the work of 43 photographers, educational activities (guided tour by the artists, screenings, …) and workshops (portfolios lectures) will be organized for the public at large and young photographers. CIRCULATION(S), AN EUROPEAN FESTIVAL DEDICATED TO THE YOUNG PHOTOGRAPHY Considering the fact that there wasn’t any photographic event entirely dedicated to the young European photography anywhere in France, Fetart has decided to organize this festival in 2011 as an extension to its non-profit actions made since 2005 in order to promote young talents in photography throughout Europe. Circulation(s) other ambition is to network with other European structures dedicated to promote the young photography and communicate about initiatives made by European curators, gallery, festivals, collectives, schools of photography and editors. This festival stands out for its open mindedness and its pan-European as well as its prospective vision about contemporary innovation and creation. Beyond the setting up the exhibition itself, the festival wishes to relay European cultural initiatives and give them more visibility within the festival such as : - Giving an opportunity to the young artists to be represented in the cultural and artistic European scene. - Encourage the exchange of experiences by the mobility of European professionals from the world of photography and image. - Promote an intercultural dialogue. - Identify a common and shared cultural European ground. - Facilitate the circulation of cultural works and making accessible other European projects to the widest possible audience.

THE “CENTQUATRE” The « CENTQUATRE » is conceived as an artistic collaborative center mixing innovation, creation and experience. Located in the former municipal funeral home, this place can only be a welcoming and lively stage for the artists and the audience. Opened to a vibrant contemporary artistic and cultural production as well as to the performing arts, the center have the ability to present all of those forms of arts within its walls, as its surface is vast and modular - it is divided in public spaces, research workshops, and performing stages. For the festival’s 5th edition, the “CENTQUATRE” becomes a special partner as it host for the first time the Circulation(s) festival which will spread with various options of scenography through the entire southern side of the center, from the “Château d’Eau” (entry on rue Curial) to the “Halle Aubervilliers”, going across the “Nef Curial” and the workshops rooms (1/3/5). The big novelty of this edition will be the presence of an exhibition at the level of children in the CENTQUATRE-PARIS.
