The Vintage Photo Festival – International Festival of Analog Photography Enthusiasts is an annual cultural even organized in Bydgoszcz by the Fotografistka Foundation...[1] It was created in 2015 out of passion for analog photography and the belief that old techniques in photography were experiencing a renaissance.[2] Despite great revolution and evolution in digital photography, the return or even the rebirth of so-called traditional photography is visible. Film cameras are back in use, which can be proven by photographic film manufacturers such as Kodak[3] who in recent years has got back[4] to manufacturing several types of negative film which were taken off the market in the past. As a result, younger and younger creators are using analog photography as their medium of expression.[5]
The idea of the festival is based on rich photographic traditions in Bydgoszcz,[6] where until the 1990s, Foton, the second biggest in Poland factory producing photographic materials,[7] was located. On the basis of this cultural heritage, the initiator of the event, Katarzyna Gębarowska,[8] created a pioneering event dedicated to traditional photography with a modern education and animation platform as its strong suit. The aim of the festival it to promote traditional photography and current trends in this field. Each edition of the festival abounds in several exhibitions, meetings with authors, workshops, film screenings, concerts and undercards.[9]
The Vintage Grand Prix[10] is an important element of the festival. Its aim is to select the most interesting projects sent annually from all around the world. The competition is open. The foundation invites professional photographers as well as art school students and graduates, amateurs and freelancers to submit their works. Photos submitted to the competition should be made using traditional techniques: film photography, instant camera, camera obscura, daguerreotype, collodion wet plate, calotype, cyanotype and so on. The jury is composed of the director of the festival Katarzyna Gębarowska, Adam Mazur,[11] Maria Teresa Salvati[12] and Paweł Żak.[13]
The main partner of the event is the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship. The festival is co-financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, the City Council of Bydgoszcz and the Marshal's Office in Toruń.
