We are bursting with joy with the various collaborations that we are launching for this 7th edition of Panòptic! This year we are joining forces and joining forces with other local and international initiatives linked to audiovisual creation, technology and digital culture.
We have started a celebration with the +RAIN Film Festival, the first international film festival generated with artificial intelligence in Europe, promoted by the Universitat Pompeu Fabra and co-organised with Sónar. With them we have prepared a continuous screening room to enjoy some of the short films that have been part of the last editions of +RAIN.
On the other hand, we joined the Joves en Joc project at the Pompeu Fabra Library in Mataró, a gaming space aimed at teenagers and designed to show the plurality and aesthetic richness and enjoyment offered by the world of video games. During the days of the Panopticon we offer a kaleidoscopic selection of videoludic representations of love, to show some of the ways in which contemporary video games have made the construct of love and affection an important part of their discourse.
We are also opening a new virtual room within La Guixeta, an ethical online platform for audiovisuals in Catalan, which aims to expand Catalan audiovisual sovereignty through the pooling of resources and mutual support. In this space you can see a sample of short films on technology and digital culture made by students of TecnoCampus, the GEM School and the IEA Oriol Martorell.
We invite you to enjoy the different proposals of the festival, celebrate and think another year about the digital era with us!
