FITC // Storytelling X.0

What's it all about anyway? Why should I go?

This day is about connecting today’s best practices with future possibles and envisioning multiple ways that stories might be told. It will change the way you think, design and communicate.

Digital Storytelling X.0 brings together visionary thinkers and innovative trail blazers for an in-depth discussion of emergent trends, best practices, and inspiring projects, to sketch out ideas of where we may be heading next and how to make your projects part of those futures.

Who is this event for?

If you’re a digital creative wanting to make the experience of your projects richer, more engaging and more immersive or if you’re a film and/or tv content creator interested in working in the digital media industry, this day is for you, because slapping on a twitter feed or creating a character profile for your project is so last year’s update.

The Interactive Narratives Initiatives

The Storytelling X.0 symposium is one of four components of The Interactive Narratives Initiatives project. INI, a project conceived and developed by C3/Communitech in support of FITC and it's secondary partners, will be introducing to Ontarian storytellers a new software system that is a new way of telling stories. Shapeshifting Media Technology is the very latest in interactive content management software – by introducing a new media architecture featuring an adaptive nature that can change the users’ experiences on the fly during the playback of audiovisual content. In doing so, creators of audiovisual content in Ontario will be able to display their present content in a more engaging fashion than is possible with more traditional linear film or TV techniques.

INI is also made up of a series of events hosted by our secondary partners : Women in Film & Television (WIFT), Augmented Reality Lab at York University, CFC Media Lab, Communitech, Digital Arts & Technology Association (DATA), and the Writers Guild of Canada (WGC). INI is funded by the OMDC and lead by FITC.
