The festival is proud to be able to finally present this year's five FUTURES Talents: Giulia Mangione, Jonas Yang Tislevoll, Mikkel Hørlyck, Sofie Flinth and Susanne Fagerlund. They will each present a screening at the festival center on Refshaleøen. 

As part of the European platform FUTURES Photography, Copenhagen Photo Festival each year gets to select five talents from our region. This year the FUTURES talents appointed by Copenhagen Photo Festival were selected among nearly 100 applicants seeking the open call from Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

Copenhagen Photo Festival selection

Their Scandinavian background and their photo related education is maybe one of the few things the five talents have in common, besides joining the FUTURES platform for 2023.

Based on an open call, the festival’s programme committee has aimed for talents at a state in their career where FUTURES’ international connections, professional feedback and the networking can boost or push the boundaries of the talents’ individual position.

From photojournalism or (very) personal stories to the use of Artificial Intelligence with an environmental focus, they present the crème de la crème of what photography can be in Scandinavia.
