Ludger Pfanz – Future Narratives
The German filmmaker and digital pioneer will focus on The DNA of Immersive Storytelling: Virtual reality and new immersive media is able to effectively blur the line between reality and illusion, pushing the limits of our imagination and opening new fields for screenwriters and storytellers. But how can we tell stories in space? How can we create story-worlds with an active and interacting audience. In the lecture we will provide an insight into artistic space-time-experiences and combine them with dramaturgy to show ways toward space-time-narratives. Ludger is head and founder of Expanded Cinema 3Digital Laboratory, 3D Alliance Karlsruhe and the festival BEYOND. The event will be followed by networking reception for participants and local film professionals hosted by Christopher Buchholz, Französische Filmtage Tübingen l Stuttgart.
