OPEN PANORÀMIC 2026

Open Panoràmic is an open call addressed to national and international creators to take part in the Panoràmic festival. It is conceived as a meeting point for artists, curators, programmers, and audiences.

The call is structured into three categories: still image, audiovisual essay, and installation & other formats. Selected projects will be included in the Panoràmic 2026 exhibition programme.

Theme

 

Panoràmic is a festival of arts and visual cultures that explores the relationship between disciplines such as cinema, photography, and emerging image-based practices. Each edition is built around a central theme explored through the many forms and representations of the
image.

This tenth edition revolves around the concept “Burning with Desire.” The curatorial text can be found at the end of the guidelines document.
