Archival article
Launched in 2000 by LokalPatriot Institute as an international summer photography workshop, the Fotopub Festival of Documentary Photography has since developed into a significant annual event dedicated entirely to documentary photography, with up to 10 exhibitions, a set of workshops, lectures, and screenings of photo-stories. Taking place in Novo mesto, a vibrant cultural centre of the Dolenjska region in south-east Slovenia, an intimate and vital festival has succeeded to bring to the city a summertime influx of international visitors interested in photography, acclaimed professionals, as well as photography lovers of all generations.
The Fotopub themes since 2008 were Human Footprints, Making Contact, Crossing Borders and The Private Eye in 2011, tackling trends within the photo documentary society such as the power of narrow narratives thriving on the Facebook platform. In 2012 the festival under the name Eurovision was in line with the Maribor, European Capital of Culture 2012 programme. The 2013 edition is dedicated to Alienation and curated by Klavdij Sluban. Matjaž Brulc, the artistic director of Simulaker Gallery, took over the management of the festival.
