If the TED Conference is where technology, entertainment and design meet in a broad forum, then the New Media Film Festival is its cinematic counterpart. With films, trailers, shorts, digital comics and web series that highlight new advancements in technology, financing and convergence media, each project is a chance to think differently about movies today. Now in its seventh year, the New Media Film Festival honors stories worth telling, from a fully CG short based upon contemporary artwork from artists Yayoi Kusama and Ai Weiwei to a documentary about relief efforts in Nepal following the 2015 earthquake. Screenings included movies shot entirely on drones, panels where industry experts riffed on the future of web series and there was networking with entrepreneurs who understand how new media is rapidly changing the film industry today.
