The 18th International Festival of Photography, November 2008 Bratislava, Slovakia presents:

THE INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO REVIEW 2008

The 10th International Meeting of Photographers
Academy of Music and Performing Art – VÅ MU, Svoradova 2
November 7-8, 2008

Portfolio Review is one of the festival’s most important and popular program for fledgling and professional photographers. The two days of Portfolio Review presents an unforgettable opportunity for artists using photography to have their work seen by some of the most important personalities in the field of photography. The Bratislava Month of Photography brings photography professionals, magazine editors, museum curators, gallery owners, representatives of photography agencies, collectors and publishers from all around the world to meet with photographers, review their work and find new names for their networks.

This year we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Portfolio Review. We have changed the place of event to make a better possibility of communication amongst the participants. The final projection of the 15 best portfolios (chosen by SEDF) is also a new element of this event.
