➤ Bucharest Photofest 2025 explores how photography captures the strength and perseverance of the human spirit, addressing key sociopolitical and cultural issues through powerful visual narratives. This anniversary edition is not just a celebration – it’s a reflection on everything we’ve built together.
▪ For a decade, the festival has affirmed photography as more than an aesthetic act: it’s a tool of knowledge, a way to question reality, and a vehicle for civic engagement.
▪ This special edition highlights visual memory, symbolic heritage, and cultural legacy – opening the city to interdisciplinary dialogue across photography, film, music, literature, and debate.
