Factory of Photography
One of the most characteristic exhibitions of the Fotofestiwal; presents exhibitions of students from Polish and foreign schools. Schools and professors, who choose the best students, are invited to participate in the event. The Factory gives a chance especially to young students who can debut with their exhibitions.
