Festival OFF - Bratislava

Bratislava Open Call 2016
Dear photographers, photography theorists and fans,

After intensive work, we are happy to announce the new open call for the upcoming 7thyear of the OFF_festival Bratislava. The theme for the year 2016 is Tomorrow's Archive.

We want to draw our audience´s attention to the concept of an archive ofthe future. In the words of Eszter Biró, photographer and researcher, the technology-based medium of photography is often compared with memory, connected to personal identity. They both create traces and testimonies of the past andtheir sharing is essential, while archives are often understood as institutionalised, presenting the perspective of collective identity. Whatshould be remembered or forgotten collectively? And what if we lose controlover our archives, what if they overwhelm us?
Individual photographers, photographic groups and associations, clubs and schools,curators and tutors, submit your projects latest by 31 May 2016.

We take this opportunity to proudly introduce our new website with the updated application form. Please, note that only the projects submitted via the online form will be accepted. We strongly recommend checking our General Terms and Conditions for updates.
We are looking forward to your applications.

Your,

OFF_team
