Photographic exhibition by Milcho Manchevski. As well as being a well-known film director - his film After the rain, won the Golden Lion at the Venice Festival in 1994 - Milcho Manchevski also excels as a photographer. His incisive compositions, raw lighting and bright, almost saturated colours are the hallmark of his very personal style, which is firmly anchored in the contemporary reality of his country.

As well as being a well-known film director - his film After the rain, won the Golden Lion at the Venice Festival in 1994 - Milcho Manchevski also excels as a photographer. His incisive compositions, raw lighting and bright, almost saturated colours are the hallmark of his very personal style, which is firmly anchored in the contemporary reality of his country.
Born in Skopje (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) in 1959, Manchevski records unique, fleeting moments for all eternity: street scenes, daily life, the activities of ordinary people... His style is based on the sharpness of his outlook on life, with its often wry humour, his technical skills and his lucidity. His photographs are reminiscent of the grain and the coloured magic of his films.
