Open Panoràmic 2025

Panoramic Festival is a visual culture festival that explores the relationship between cinema, photography, and new languages. The finalist projects will receive a €400 fee and will be included in the exhibition.

Overview

The 9th edition of the festival revolves around the theme Pause. To a New Visual Order, offering a moment to reflect on the profound transformations that have marked the first quarter of the 21st century—across social, geopolitical, and technological dimensions. The world of images has not only documented these changes but has itself undergone deep shifts. With this edition, the festival opens a space for dialogue and critical thought on the current state of visual culture, aiming to better understand its present and imagine its possible futures.

About Panoràmic

Panoràmic proposes a space of knowledge and reflection between the still image and the moving image. And it does so by deploying all the areas where the image is present to us, that is, through screenings of feature films and short films, video, video installations, video games, mappings, exhibitions, workshops, conferences, workshops, TV, installations facilities, archives, bibliography, photo books or interactive projects among others.

Panoràmic is consolidating itself as a reference festival for culture that is shown through the visual arts expanded into multiple forms and creative processes. The festival is directed by Joan Fontcuberta, Laia Casanova and Albert Gusi, and has an advisory team made up of Andrés Hispano, Mercè Alsina and Fèlix Pérez-Hita.
