Galeria FF - Nowe Spojrzenie

22-30 IX 2009

This occasion marks the first time when works by full-time photography students of the Cinematography and Television Production Department at the Leon Schiller National Film School in Łódź (PWSFTviT) are featured at the Galeria FF - Forum Fotografii, Galeria Stara and Galeria Nowa of the Łódź Cultural Center.
      Although the name of the department does not include the word itself, photography has always been one of the essential elements in the teaching process and it is, first and foremost, an integral form of artistic expression. For the past three years, young students of photography have had a chance to study this discipline under a five-year full-time Master's Program.
      Artists who are currently being featured have chosen a selection of their artistic output to display, realized in the academic year 2008/2009. The title of the exhibition, Nowe spojrzenie (New Look) is aimed at provoking a reflection on issues such as interpretation of reality, creative potential and the ability to formulate individual artistic expression by young photographers-in-training. Twenty eight authors are confronted by their audiences, many of them for the first time.
      As to whether the authors managed to meet expectations and fulfill hopes or whether the title of the current collection is accurate - we leave that to your critical (albeit hopefully kind) judgment ...
