23rd edition of the Bayeux-Calvados Award : results
Fifty war correspondents have gathered in Bayeux on October 7th and 8th to debate and award trophies in the following categories: photo, print, radio, television, grand format television, young reporter (photo), web journalism and video image. Three honorary awards have been attributed: the Regional prize for students and trainees of Normandy (television), the Public’s Choice award (photo) and the Ouest-France – Jean Marin prize (print). Presided by Jean-Claude Guillebaud, the international jury of the 23rd edition of the Bayeux-Calvados Award for war correspondents has reached its verdict…
“Since I was part of the jury that selected this year’s nominees, I was aware that the choice of the international jury would be a particularly difficult one in the light of the quality of the articles and reports in competition. The final result is absolutely astounding. I am all the more appreciative of this award given that it rewards war correspondents of all media. The Bayeux-Calvados Award for war correspondents offers a panoramic view of our profession. And this is what makes this award so unique and precious.”

The wandering refugees across Europe
In 2015, they were more than a million seeking shelter in Europe, forced out of their homes by conflict and persecution; mostly from Syria and Irak, but also from the Horn of Africa, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
For this open-air exhibition in the center of the city, the AFP photographers tell their journey, and sometimes their woes.
The sound of War
À travers l’immersion dans les ambiances sonores de d’Irak, d’Iran, de Gaza, de Libye, de Centrafrique, l’exposition veut stimuler l’imaginaire et nous forcer à convoquer nos propres images.
Au fil de la scénographie, il retrace aussi l’élaboration d’un reportage, de la matière brute du tournage à la diffusion.
Il raconte enfin l’évolution des outils techniques depuis 30 ans, et leur impact sur la prise de son et les conditions de tournage.
Commissaires d’exposition – Jean-Marc Four (France Inter) et Jean-Marie Porcher (Radio France)

Refugees across Europe
Collective exhibitions of AFP photojournalists

According to The United Nations more than a million of refugees have reached the European Union in 2015 and some 260.000 during the first six months of the year 2016 alone.
The AFP follows the journey of migrants through Europe from June 2015 to July 2016. The geographical localization of these images enables the visitor to follow their path across the continent.

Unprecedented sound exhibition
How to tell the course and work around sounds in radio reports on war grounds?
By means of specific examples (Gaza, Somalia, Ukraine, Libya, Central African Republic), the exhibition enables the visitor to experience sound like never before. As he moves through the exhibition, the visitor will see a report in the making, from start to finish.

Nota Roja
Acapulco, in the Guerrero province of Mexico was far from the coastal city enjoyed by American jet-setters in the 50s and 60s.
However, it was still a holiday destination of choice for many a few years ago. In proportion to the number of inhabitants, Acapulco is considered today as the most dangerous city in the country. 1.300 murders have been committed there over the past year. Five to six murders are committed each day.
Some forty gangs are fighting to take over control of the racketing and the barrios, the neighborhoods. The army and the police can barely contain the situation and an important numbers of neighborhoods are just off limit to them.
The photographs were taken by Bernandino Hernandez, an orphan, who arrived at Acapulco at the age of 3.
They shine a light on this war that dares not speak its name.
His work falls within the Mexican tradition of the Nota Roja, a literary journalistic genre highly popular at the beginning of the century whose origin is linked to the Mexican inquisition. Hernandez has documented both the transformation of his city and his own condition without ever being exposed or recognized.
The completion and singularity of his work over the last few years have yet to find a match.

Gilles Caron : photographs of war
The Gill Caron foundation presents a selection of war photographs taken by war correspondent Gilles Caron. This event is realized parallel to the inauguration of the brand new stele dedicated to reporters whose bodies have yet to be found, and Gilles Caron in particular.
30 year old journalist who went missing in Cambodia on April 5, 1970, Gilles Caron had a growing career and left behind a collection of 700 reports. Thanks to his first war report entitled “Six Jours”, his agency GAMMA, ranked in the top media agency in the world for the year 1967. In 1970, he became a prisoner in Chad; he followed the May 1968 events in France and worked all over the world following the conflicts in Prague, Biafra, Cambodia and Vietnam. 50 years later, his work has the exact same intensity. Gifted with elegance, he knew how to shape symbolic and powerful images and became a significant actor of photography.
Recruited in Algeria during his military service, Gilles Caron is soon disgusted by the atrocities of the war. After careful consideration – as revealed by his personal letters – he takes the decision to desert the army. Since then, his gaze is entirely focused of the people: population or military personnel in their daily life. Without excess or tricks, the major events he works on illustrate a large range of conflicts in the twentieth century: civil wars, blitz, hunger…. Despite the risks he faced, he testified of the violence in the world.

Gaza, the aftermath
From July 2014 to February 2016, the Belgian photojournalist Virginie Nguyen Hoang went to Gaza five times.
She was there during the Summer 2014 War and decided to return to Gaza in order to relate the reconstruction of Gaza through the daily life of four families.
The conflict between the Israeli army and forces of Hamas and the Islamic Jihad in Gaza were responsible for 2.502 Palestinian deaths and 71 for Israel, including 66 soldiers. Among the Palestinian victims, 1.583 were civilians, 521 children and 283 women (According to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs).
Since the cease-fire, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs estimates that 100.000 civilians have been displaced from the Gaza Strip, including 28.000 who have sought refuge in UNRWA schools that have been transformed into shelters. Others found asylum with families or friends, or they simply went back to live in the ruins of their own homes with the hope to obtain financial help.
Virginie Nguyen Hoang got involved in the daily life of four families in order to visually report their life and their fight to rediscover a peaceful life.

Rwanda : mauvais souvenir
In Rwanda, they have long been rejected. The children born from rape during the 1994 genocide.
They are no less than twenty thousand. Today, in their twenties, they learn to live with this dreadful heritage. Spicee met with Dyvine, Hillary, Arthur, Emmerance… They just became adults and still have questions regarding their origin. Only now, do they have the strength to talk about their stories, and this painful feeling of illegitimacy they face in the Rwandan society. These children called "Painful memories", are nonetheless the symbol of a great promise: the reconciliation between Hutus and Tutsis. What if they were the future of Rwanda?
Directed by Marine Courtade et Christophe Busché.
Produced by Spicee
Duration: 40 min
