A weekend with a view

Look closely at what is happening.

Program

For three days, journalists will meet other knowledgeable mediators of information from different regions of the world in Innsbruck. In conversations with colleagues and other experts, visitors find out what is going on behind the scenes of the information on international events, which is often hastily and superficially conveyed, and can contribute.

Current social, political and cultural developments are the focus of the debates, from book presentations, exhibitions, doc-films and audio features. The Journalismusfest Innsbruck opens a window to the complex present in which we live.

Lee

Elisabeth “Lee” Miller had been working as a US photo model and fashion photographer, before, starting in 1942, she documented the war in Europe as a photo reporter for different outlets, including for Vogue. Miller witnessed the liberation of Paris and Alsace firsthand. In April 1945, she was among the first to document the Nazi crimes on the day of the liberation of the concentration camps Buchenwald and Dachau. “Lee” (2023) shows how Miller’s son Antony Penrose (Josh O’Connor) finds long-forgotten photographs in the attic of his late mother (Kate Winslet). It is thanks to Penrose that Lee Miller’s work is still known today. Her photos rank among the significant photographic works of the 20th century.
