2nd Annual Interactive Playground to Explore Intersection of Culture, Technology and Storytelling
NEW YORK, NY (March 30, 2015) Tribeca Film Institute (TFI) today announced the key speakers and participants for the fourth annual TFI Interactive (TFIi) event that takes place during the Tribeca Film Festival (TFF). TFIi, with the support of the Ford Foundation, assembles the brightest thinkers and innovators for an all-day forum that explores storytelling in the digital age. Returning for a second year is the Interactive Playground which connects participants with a selection of groundbreaking projects.
During TFIi, participants will come together to explore how the evolving digital world is impacting their industries and the art of storytelling. Key speakers and skilled media artists will give a series of short talks to inspire ideas and collaborations. The day will aim to encourage participants to challenge existing filmmaking standards and to embrace digital in this ever-evolving field.
TFIi will take place from 10:00a.m. 7:00p.m. at Spring Studios in New York City on Saturday, April 18 and is open to TFI-invited guests, TFF badge holders, Spring Pass and Day Pass holders, and TFI Members.
This year's TFIi will kick off with a keynote from artist, director, and body architect, Lucy McRae. Trained as a classical ballerina and architect, Lucy will share how she views the intersection of biology and technology in our physical bodies. Through fashion, technology, and her body Lucy stretches the boundaries of traditional storytelling. The day will close with Seven Digital Deadly Sins, Live an interactive experience presented by IDFA DocLab and hosted by Ophira Eisenberg of NPR's, Ask me Another. In between will be talks from creative thought leaders including Charlie Phillips, Head of Documentaries at The Guardian, and Julia Kaganskiy, Director of NEW INC, the world's first museum incubator for art, technology and design.
TFI Interactive showcases diverse projects that highlight innovation and interactivity through storytelling, said Ingrid Kopp, Director of Interactive Programming at TFI. In its fourth year, we continue to be immensely proud of how this event encourages artists and filmmakers to come together and inspire each other to make an impact in this ever changing digital world
For the second year, TFI Interactive's Interactive Playground will give participants an opportunity to explore engaging content spanning the breadth of interactivity. Over 30 projects will be showcased ranging from virtual experiences on new tech platforms, emerging talent from NYU and Hunter College's interactive programs, games and workshops in the Maker Space and other featured projects including:
National Film Board of Canada's Haiku An evolving collection of innovative, interactive stories exploring the world - and our place in it - from uniquely Canadian points of view.
That Dragon, Cancer A videogame developer s love letter to his son; an adventure game to inspire us to love each other; a voice for those fighting cancer. Thank You for Playing, the documentary about the developer's family and the process of creating the videogame, is in this year's Tribeca Film Festival and was supported through a 2014 Tribeca All Access alumni grant.
Priya's Shakti An augmented comic book that highlights the fight against gender-based sexual violence in India and around the world.
TFI INTERACTIVE PROGRAM & SCHEDULE:
10.00 a.m. - Keynote: Training for Space
Lucy McRae, Science Fiction Artist, Director and Body Architect
Full of contagious energy Lucy takes audiences out of the their comfort zone. She articulates her relationship with the world using her own body as a mechanism for prototyping the future. And now she is training for space.
10.45 a.m. - The People's Platform
Astra Taylor, Author and Filmmaker
Cultural commentator, filmmaker and author Astra Taylor, brings us a debate on the place of the web as a democratizing force. The Internet is said to be a space of democratic expression, both culturally and politically. This talk will examine and challenge that claim through the lenses of documentary filmmaking and activism, making the case that in order to take advantage of the democratic potential of the net we first need to be more critical about its failings.
11.00 a.m. - Using Interactive Art to Nurture the Commons
Kawandeep Virdee, Co-Founder of New American Public Art, Head of Product at Embedly
