Portfolio Review 2025
May 23, 2025
This is a closed activity in which only the winners of the Portfolio Review Call will participate. It will take place on Friday, May 23, in two shifts, morning and afternoon, with each shift lasting 3 hours.
Each author will have an assigned space with their name and a table to place their images, and the reviewers will move from one table to another in 20-minute periods. This method will allow the photographers to have individual perceptions from each reviewer and gain diverse and personal insights and advice.
The 18 participants will receive accreditation that will give them unlimited access to all the festival exhibitions. Additionally, they will be invited to a private dinner on the same Friday after the inauguration, with the rest of the authors, residents, galleries, and reviewers, to continue conversations in a more relaxed atmosphere.
Morning shift: from 10:00 to 13:15, and afternoon shift: from 16:00 to 19:15.
