IPSMF (International Photography and Short Movie Festival) is an international event held annually by the Faculty of Communication and Social Science, Telkom University, Bandung. IPSMF is expected to become a competitive activity that facilitates skills, becomes a means of exchanging ideas, and of course as a forum for conveying photo and film creators to the public.

In this year’s IPSMF (2024), we raised the theme of “The Beauty of Diversity: Exploring Cultures Through a Multicultural Lens”. Diversity encompasses a wide range of differences, including race, ethnicity, culture, language, religion, age, ability, and socio-economic status. Hence exploring cultures through a multicultural lens involves examining and understanding different cultural perspectives and experiences in a way that acknowledges and values diversity.

IPSMF as an international event is expected to become a competitive activity that facilitates the ability of photo and film creators, a vehicle for exchanging ideas for fellow photo and film requests, and of course, as a means of delivering photo and film works to the public. As a competition on an international scale, where participants include other countries, this event is expected to bring an interesting picture of the culture and dynamics of change experienced in each country as well as how the existence of culture is their future
