Manfrotto Sponsors Photography Program

The world`s leading manufacturer of support products for pro video and photography, Manfrotto, will sponsor the 2005 All Roads Photographers Program. The 2005 All Roads Photographers Program is a central component of the All Roads Festival, created to recognize, support, and focus on the next generation of photographers and storytellers who have been documenting their changing culture and community.

The All Roads Festival, an event comprised of cutting-edge film, videos, live music, art, and a photographic exhibition, will feature work from the program`s 2005 awardees. Featured artists will include: Marcela Taboada, Sudharak Olwe, Neo Ntsoma, and Andre Cypriano. Awardees will receive, among other prizes, photographic equipment from Manfrotto.

In connection with National Geographic`s All Roads Film Project, this program recognizes and supports talented photographic storytellers from around the world who are documenting their changing cultures and communities through photography. The festival provides a forum for indigenous and under-represented minority-culture filmmakers and photographers to showcase their work to a global audience and share their unique culture and experiences through exhibitions, panel discussions, and workshops.
