Loosely based on the novel by Marcel Proust, SIPF delves deeply into the conscious mind to unravel the present through recollections and memories. In its 9th edition, SIPF expands on the concept of the conscious mind, likened to a collection of photographs that capture fragments of our experiences, emotions, and thoughts. Each image represents a moment, evoking nostalgia, joy, or even sorrow.

In this interplay of memory and perception, we express our identity and understanding of the world. With photography conveying layers of meaning and context, the festival aims to articulate our past while navigating the present, inviting everyone to revisit familiar themes and perspectives through fresh lenses.
