The new cycle of the Prix Pictet opened at Les Rencontres d´Arles, France, on 8 July with a special evening screening in the Théâtre Antique, showcasing the four Prix Pictet laureates to date.

The theme for the third cycle is Growth. At once a blessing and a curse, Growth, in all its forms, presents one of the great conundrums facing humanity in the early decades of the twenty-first century.

From the dizzying expansion of our cities with their ever increasing dependency on scarce natural resources to the burgeoning populations and the need to feed ourselves, the theme of Growth presents a rich creative challenge.
