NOVA24 | Photo + Film Festival was created in 2023 by Mara Magyarosi-Laytner and Raymar to create a platform to connect Detroit photographers and filmmakers with the world. There are over 100+ lens based festivals in cities internationally and it’s time for Detroit to take the stage!

The annual festival, starting in July 2024, was established to connect the innovators of Detroit’s lens based industry by creating opportunities for exhibitions, film screenings, artist talks, workshops, and more throughout the Detroit metropolitan region in a range of indoor and outdoor experiences.
