About Vintage Photo Festival

Today, despite the tremendous developments in the field of digital photography, many young artists tend to use traditional photography processes to express their narrative; especially in recent years, when the use of photographic films has become popular again. Therefore, this festival was launched in 2015 with the aim of reviving and promoting analog photography, and since then Katarzyna Gebarowska, a photographer, curator, and researcher in the field of history of photography, is managing it. The idea of ​​establishing this festival is derived from the rich traditions of photography in the city of Bydgoszcz, Poland, where in the 1990s, the country's second and largest factory in the field of producing photographic materials under the trademark of Foton was located there.
