      Presented by Hyphen Hub
       

      From Los Angeles to New York to Beijing and many cities in between, a rare behind-the-scenes look at the evolution of some of the world's biggest international film festivals. A former Artistic Director based in the US and China, who has led festivals including AFI FEST, the New York Film Festival, and the Qingdao International Film Festivals, talks about film curating, emerging regions, discovering and developing talent And where is the cinema headed?

      Film festivals around the world aspire to be essential and contribute to film culture. Many festivals, old and new, are struggling to be relevant in an ever-changing landscape. Why and how is this happening? As content platforms multiply and become more accessible from anywhere in the world, and the tools for creation evolve, how are film festivals navigating the changes with filmmakers and audiences? How is China's development in technology, film and video changing and where could it go next? What are the challenges for foreigners who want to work in film and other media in China? What are the secrets of success at work in the culture industry in China? What are the intricacies of film festival curation? What do film curators look for when looking for talent to show? Why was that movie or the filmmaker rejected?

      Join us for a journey through creativity, technology, imagination, inspiration, and travel from the perspective of a movie seat.

      Walking on the Cloud

      Donato Piccolo
      Italy
       

      "Walking on the cloud" presents legs, built with Plexiglas and servomotors, that move electronically simulating "walking" on a cloud recreated through artificial ultrasonic nebulization. The representation is totally evocative and underlines how mechanics can create possibilities of thought to dream new possibilities for the future.

      The exposed legs are artificial and attempt to define human behavior. Each movement is causal of another movement. For every cause there is an effect. This sculpture was previously exhibited at the Hermitage Museum in Russia in a solo exhibition titled Thinking the Unthinkable.
