2016-2025,
A Decade of Bucharest
Photofest

Bucharest Photofest is an interdisciplinary cultural platform dedicated to photography as a vital means of artistic expression, critical reflection, and civic engagement. 

In October 2025, the 10th edition of Bucharest Photofest marked a decade of sustained artistic practice, international exchange, and public engagement. Over ten days, the festival brought together artists, curators, researchers, and audiences across Bucharest, reaffirming photography as a tool of knowledge, memory, and civic awareness.

Held between October 10–19, 2025, the anniversary edition stood as both a culmination and a point of continuity – confirming Bucharest Photofest’s role as a stable, relevant, and long-term cultural platform within the contemporary visual landscape.
