Satellite Events

FotoFreo consists of many parts and includes a number of ‘satellite events’. Satellite events are those that are conducted under the umbrella of the festival and which we are pleased to be associated with and endorse. However, they are not a part of the programme funded by FotoFreo. In most cases, the people or organisations involved in these events have had some past association with FotoFreo.

 The following Satellite Events are arranged in the order they take place.
