Quality and diversity in story and technology have always been at the forefront of the New Media Film Festival®. What makes this year especially different is how they are programming. An Unprecedented Line-up of Story, Technology Leaders, and Talent at 14th New Media Film Festival® Los Angeles/Hybrid

Programming includes 106 New Media films & content.  37 World – 10 US – 41 L.A. Premieres Judges from Marvel, HBO, PBS, BBC, ABC, GRAMMYS, EMMYS, Simon & Schuster. $45,000 in Awards.

From 22 countries – Australia, Canada, China, Colombia, Faroe Islands, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Italy, United States, Uruguay

What this means. Freedom. Freedom to program stories for a more enjoyable experience as well as having people that normally would not experience a category now has a chance to participate.

Instead. the entire programming was based on the flow of the story from beginning to end. You could be watching a digital comic, then a short,  then an AI-created short and each day of the festival (June 7th, 2023 2023 #film #festival #newmedia online & June 8 2023 2023 #film #festival #newmedia in Los Angeles) has a different story flow/programming.  Full line up https://www.newediafilmfestival.com/events

When festival director, Susan Johnston was speaking with long-standing Sponsor, Rich Gentilcore about this, he replied “That’s never been done before. To have the audience think about how they relate and what category is pretty awesome.

ABOUT: The festival's mandate is, Honoring Stories Worth Telling in 28 categories of classic & technology programming, and this year an unprecedented challenge occurred. The traditional block of screenings by genre or theme did not flow well for a great audience or content-creator experience.   Content for each day of the festival was programmed from the total. So, the audience is seeing stories unfold in a manner that takes you on experiences with no bearing on which of the 28 categories they are a nominee.
