In memoriam

Yan Morvan

[1954 — 2024]

The extraordinary French photojournalist Yan Morvan passed away on September 20, 2024.
In 1986, he presented a screening show on Beirut at the Théâtre Antique in Arles, where he had covered the Lebanese Civil War for several years.
In 2016, he exhibited his monumental series "Champs de Bataille" at the festival, through which he documented conflict sites to bear witness to the reality of war in a different way.
The Rencontres d'Arles pay tribute to him.
