Established during the festival’s debut in 2008, the Portfolio Review remains a fundamental cornerstone of SIPF.  Designed to facilitate professional growth, the programme creates a space for photography practitioners to engage directly with influential industry figures. Over the years, it has cultivated an extensive global network, bridging the gap between lens-based creators and a diverse range of curators, gallerists, editors, and scholars from prominent cultural and academic institutions.

For this edition, SIPF have gathered more than 20 esteemed international experts to provide personalised, one-to-one and open consultations through a versatile hybrid format.
