The most important industry meeting event in Chile will have a new section this year in which projects from all over Latin America will stand out, with a focus on transmedia, virtual and augmented reality, multiplatform and interactive web development.
Six projects were selected to participate in the Connect with New Media section of Conecta, and it will be launched in the sixth edition of the most important documentary industry meeting event in Chile, to be held between November 29 and December 7, 2021.
The initiative is driven by the Chilean Documentary Corporation CCDoc in partnership with the National Film Board (NFB) of Canada, a Canadian public organization that looks to produce and distribute films to promote the country around the world. It also has the collaboration of Mediamorfosis, the most important meeting event of new narratives in Latin America, and Stereopsia Latam, an international meet dedicated to immersive technologies.
It should be noted that Mediamorfosis will award one of the projects with a free accreditation to participate in the Professional Training Workshop that will be held in 2022.
A new way of telling stories
Productions from Panama, Argentina, Mexico, Peru and Chile will be part of the first edition of the Conecta con los Nuevos Medios workshop, a space focused on projects that bet on another form of construction and narrative development. Stories with a high social content -from the resilience of former prisoners to the research of the origins of different native peoples- that bet on a new way of telling stories. Projects of transmedia narrative, virtual and augmented reality, multiplatform and interactive web; all of them with special focus on new media.
