FilmGate Interactive Media Festival, a technology and film driven experimental showcase, calls itself the first conference in the nation to focus solely on interactive and immersive content.
The yearly conference, since 2012, returns to Friday through Sunday at University of Miami. The event strives to make a space where new media is redefined, explored, and even created.
FilmGate will feature panels, workshops and master classes for novice and experienced filmmakers, media members, inquiring attendees looking to hone their skills.
Co-founder and executive director Diliana Alexander said the festival will appeal to anyone interested in responsive media, including virtual reality, branding, and content, and storytelling from internet celebrities. She calls them “cewebities.”
“On the surface, FilmGate looks like something very niche and geared toward creators, but we have the interactive screenings at night and the virtual reality projects that are accessible to everyone, so we say it is open to the curious audience,” Alexander said.
