“At the Media Festival Arts you’ll hear from some of the most imaginative pioneers in the online world.”
Peter Bazalgette, Deputy Chairman, English National Opera & Media Festival Arts Chair
The Media Festival Arts promises to address the critical questions facing arts, film and media businesses at a time of widespread change. As the new government beds in, and announces cuts, restructuring and economising of public funding mechanisms, and disruptive technologies continue to radically alter the way in which audiences consume, engage with and share content, the festival will bring together stakeholders from across the industries to discuss and debate the pressing issues faced by all, and find practical solutions to the challenges that lie ahead.
The Media Festival Arts is the only event bringing together the arts and media sectors to outline the potential for collaboration, skills exchange and partnership.
