Power to the Pixel announces line-up
Power to the Pixel’s four-day Cross-Media Forum (October 12-15), has announced a world-class array of speakers for the event. Keynotes include Michel Reilhac, Executive Director of ARTE France Cinéma; Mike Monello, co-creator of The Blair Witch Project and co-founder of New York-based creative agency Campfire; and film director, producer and long-time collaborator of Richard Linklater, Tommy Pallotta. The Forum is held in association with the BFI London Film Festival.
A two-day marketplace will follow the conference, which is the first of its kind to be dedicated to cross-media innovation and business. Thomas Hoegh, Managing Partner of Arts Alliance will be delivering the opening keynote to the Pixel Market.
The event will bring together 18 cross-media projects from around the world, across the film, broadcast, gaming, online, interactive and publishing platforms.
Participants will have one-to-one business meetings with potential partners and financiers from across the media industries and nine of the market projects will go forward to The Pixel Pitch Competition backed by French/German broadcaster ARTE to compete for the £6,000 top prize.
The winner of the ARTE Pixel Pitch Prize will be announced on 14 October.
Founder Liz Rosenthal said, “Power to the Pixel has always been a place where cutting-edge ideas can be discussed in a unique collaborative environment. This year’s world-class speakers will once again show how filmmakers, storytellers and content creators are finding new means to engage audiences and build on the potential represented by digital technologies.”
The Media Programme of the European Union, the BFI London Film Festival, ARTE, TorinoFilmLab and Audio Network support the Pixel Market.
