The Photographic Nights of Selma, was initiated by French photographer Stéphane Kossmann – founder of Les Nuits Photographiques de Pierrevert in France – With Joanne Bland and in partnership with Art Revive.
The event takes place over three days in the town of Selma, featuring exhibitions by international photographers, meetings, portfolio readings and a public screening.

The festival is also committed to developing exchanges with young artists in the process of professionalizing their work, notably through photographic walks and round-table discussions.
Every year, some twenty international photographers take part.
The Selma Photographic Nights Festival is a unique opportunity for professionals, amateurs and enthusiasts, not to mention the curious, to share their passion.

The festival will be November 1 and 2, and photographers who can travel to Selma Alabama to be a part of the festival are invited to submit a series of work for consideration. All participating photographers will have their work digitally screened either Friday or Saturday night. For those interested in also displaying physical work there are limited spaces for exhibitions, which will be assigned by the artistic committee.  Submissions for the screenings should be 25 to 30 images that are part of a series. A sound artist in France will create a soundtrack for each photographer’s work during the evening screenings when everyone comes together to experience the photography.
