The festival will open on October 27th with the first monographical exhibition on the legendary photographer of the Weimarer Republic Sasha Stone in the Berlinische Galerie. His images for the publication "Berlin in pictures" (1929) were considered lost for good until they were discovered by chance in Vienna by the curators of "The Month of Photography".

A further highlight will be the exhibit "famous" by the group klubfoto starting on November 2nd in the Martin-Gropius-Bau. Once a year, this forum for photography based in Hamburg calls on photographers to present photography works inspired by a certain topic.

During the whole of November, Berlin will be the host for a multitude of events such as the Berlin photomarathon, the fair for photography "Fotobild" and different conferences and workshops.
