XR Content Creation Master Class with Karine Lagrange
Karine Lagrange, the Head of Programming & General Coordinator for the NewImages Festival, gave our Master of Digital Media students a sneak peek into what to expect from the festival, and lead an in-depth discussion about the challenges facing digital content creation.
As a leading international event in the field of immersive creation and virtual worlds, the NewImages Festival is produced and hosted by the Forum des images, one of the most important cultural institutions in Paris. Designed for both the general public and professionals, its 5th edition will be held in Paris and online on June 8-12, 2022.
Forward-looking and cutting-edge, the NewImages Festival provides a fresh approach to innovative creative techniques and proudly claims its credo: "Disrupt, discover, democratize". In France and internationally, the NewImages Festival intends to be the leading hub for immersive creation. A place where you can discover new artistic perspectives or new talents. A place where the best of immersive creation can be showcased. A place where the XR ecosystem can be structured, stimulated and strengthened.
In this respect, the NewImages Festival features — among other things — an international competition for immersive contents (with grants), a dedicated co-production and distribution market or various residencies and professional programs to strengthen international exchange and support future content.
