BYZANFEST PROUDLY SUPPORTS QUO VADIS FILM FESTIVAL AS

AN INSTITUTIONAL PARTNER.

​

When one thinks about where Orthodox Christianity exists, they usually think Greece, Russia, Romania etc, also known as the ‘Old World. However, over time, Orthodoxy has reached the shores of every land on Earth, including the Americas, Asia, Australia and beyond.

 

Though the Orthodox faith and its doctrines did not change, these ‘new’ lands, cultures and people who have embraced the faith have helped enrich how Eastern Orthodox Christianity is expressed. Therefore, it is important to learn how our fellow Orthodox brothers and sisters who live far away from the ‘Old World’ practice and live-out the faith.

 

THEME:

This exhibition focuses on the theme ‘My Neighbour’. Each photograph must reflect an expression of the Eastern Orthodox Christian faith in different parts of the world outside of majority-populated Orthodox countries.

  • community life/activities,

  • landscapes,

  • local people,
