The 26th Festival International Nature Namur will express its support to photographers and naturalist directors that could present their works through FINN. Main events, that will take place from 9 to 18 October, will be held at the Citadelle of Namur which will host photographic exhibitions, animations for schools and screenings of films in competition, offering a real place of exchange and sharing between the public and the professionals of nature cinema.
The Artistic Director of the Gran Paradiso Film Festival, Luisa Vuillermoz, will be member of the technical jury of this edition that will award the “Grand Prix” to the best film in competition and other prizes in the category of professional directors.
