BIFB’11 will run from Saturday August 20th 2011 to Sunday September 18th 2011.

The festival will once again present a diverse and eclectic mix of the very best of photography and photographic art from all corners of Australia and around the world.

The tradition of high quality Core Program shows and a smorgasbord of open-entry Fringe Program exhibitions will once again be backed up with a stimulating program of workshops, seminars, audio visual projections and events for special interest and affiliated photographic groups.

Also on offer will be a range of community and public access events which will invite our audience to engage and participate regardless of levels of photographic expertise.

So mark your diaries and bookmark this site, and check back regularly over the coming months so you can keep abreast of all of the exciting events we have planned for BIFB’11

Coming up in September is something I’ve been looking forward to for oh, 2 years now, since the last one! The Ballarat International Foto Biennale is about to kick off and anyone who is even vaguely interested in Photography would find more than enough to entertain and enlighten them in the month of September in the beautiful country Victorian town of Ballarat and it’s surroundings. Comprising 20 Core exhibitions, 60 Fringe shows, workshops, seminars, portfolio reviews, affiliate events, artist floor talks, camera market, special events…and much more it should be a fantastic start to Spring!
Then if that wasn’t enough, before we know it the next World Toy Camera Day will be upon us! That’s right, not long now, October 17, 2009 to be precise. There are other very funky thangs like HolgaPalooza happening at the moment, but perhaps I’ll get a chance to talk about that in my next post.

Finally I’ll leave you with a short movie filmed on the digital harinezumi. Wrapping up the last day of the Unsensored 09 exhibition at the Collingwood Gallery, Melbourne, Victoria on 19th August 2009. Covering the work of 43 artists using film in their photographic expression. Thanks to the committee and all who participated, exhibited, helped and attended. It was great!
