The group of maximum 12 selected participants meets 3 times for 3 days during a period of 9 months at the offices of Noorderlicht in the beautiful city of Groningen in the Netherlands. Under the guidance of Marc Prüst and Lars Boering they will be pushed to make the next step in their careers. For each session the group is joined by 2 masters who will talk about their specialty in the photographic business.

The Noorderlicht Photogallery presents the Dutch premiere of the magnum opus by photographer Rob Hornstra and writer/filmmaker Arnold van Bruggen: The Sochi Project. The two have been working uninterruptedly since 2009 on an extensive documentary about the controversial conflict zone around Sochi: the Caucasus. Themes such as corruption, violence, terrorism and tourism run like threads through the project. This exhibition shows the final results of five years of investigations in thorough slow-journalism. The Sochi Project is shortlisted for the Dutch Doc Award 2014 which will be granted on 10 June.
