Iran’s Fajr Film Festival has pulled a documentary concerning Ziv Koren after festival organizers - who had originally approached the film’s producer, Solo Avital – realized the documentary focused on an Israeli photographer covering the current intifada. Avital’s documentary, More Than 1,000 Words, tells the story of photojournalist Ziv Koren and his work covering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over the past five years. Yannis Kontos featured in Athens exhibit
A body of work by Yannis Kontos will be on exhibit at the Frissiras Museum in Athens from January 24 - May 15, 2007. The exhibit spans four subject areas covered by Kontos. Sierra Leone, Life as an Amputee tells the story of Abu, a victim of the horrific amputations perpetrated by rebel soldiers during the recent civil war in Sierra Leone. In Aporias, Kontos takes us to such locales as Iraq, Kosovo and Pakistan in an effort to highlight the topic of conflict arising from opposing or incompatible views. In Kulina, we are transported to a Serbian mental institution treating children either partially or completely disabled. Kontos' lens captures an institution struggling to care for some 650 patients in terrible living conditions where food and water are lacking, wardrobe needs are limited to mere rags and medical care is generally inadequate. Finally, in Red Utopia, Kontos' diligent eye probes life in North Korea, in extremely trying circumstances. Inside Asia's "hermit kingdom," photography is stricty limited to that which official minders permit to be captured on film. Smuggling illicit images out of the country, Kontos has succeeded at providing incites into everyday life in one of the world's last Stalinist holdouts.
