PICTURE THIS_18 – Showcasing the Future of Filmmaking

Conference on the future of filmmaking: PICTURE THIS_.

Massive technological shifts and groundbreaking developments have changed the entire landscape of filmmaking, offering a whole range of new artistic opportunities for directors, writers, cinematographers, designers and technicians. The opportunities for creating visually stunning productions, exploring new storytelling techniques and maximizing production value are greater than ever.

PICTURE THIS_ is initiated and financed by the Nordisk Film Foundation to address these changes and explore the future: “In recent years, we have seen such a massive shift in new technologies that we need to restructure our approach to film development and production and reinvent our workflows and procedures” says Allan Hansen, Chief Executive Officer of Nordisk Film on behalf of the Nordisk Film Foundation. 

“Our ambition with PICTURE THIS_18 is to present the latest  and ground-breaking knowledge in this rapidly developing field, inspiring the entire industry, from the established film professionals to the film schools and educators, to pick up the gauntlet and truly unfold the ever-increasing potentials of the film media”, he continues.

The 2nd edition of PICTURE THIS_ picks up where last year’s conference left off, digging deeper into the concept of story worlds, guerilla-style filmmaking, CGI/VFX, pre-visualization tools, real-time technologies and discussions of the future of educating, developing, producing and financing the motion pictures of tomorrow. 

The conference will feature a series of early adopter case studies and talks from innovative filmmakers, designers, technicians, scientists and industry experts from around the world, responding to the technological changes of the industry and pushing the limits of digital filmmaking.

The award-winning journalist and media analyst Kate Bulkley (The Guardian and Broadcast Magazine) will be on stage, guiding us through the talks and panels of the day. The speakers and keynotes will be announced in the upcoming months on picturethisconference.com.
