FOTOFILMIC OPEN:
So excited to announce today who the six final FOTOFILMIC OPEN 2026 exhibitors are!
Big congratulations to the winners! We’re delighted to have the chance to bring together and present such an incredible group of artists this spring, and look forward to working in close collaboration with them starting this week in preparation for the 2026 FOTOFILMIC OPEN exhibition, set to open on Saturday, May 2nd! Mark your calendars!
We also wish to extend the jurors our sincere gratitude for all their time reviewing the countless compelling submissions received from the global photography community. They all formed fantastic long lists to start, which proved really hard narrowing down to just two each (plus their honourable mentions of course)! The work that circled their minds over the whole month of January during jurying deeply resonated with them, with many photographers’ names outside of the final winning selection being written down on their watchlist!
