SUBOTRON ‎Games and Movies: Living in the Future

The transfer of knowledge and cooperation with other sectors of the creative industries is a sparsely heeded field in the games sector which SUBOTRON will elaborate during this “pro games”-year. The influence of the games industry on other creative businesses is constantly growing on technological and artistic levels. There are many interfaces whose innovative opportunities are yet unexhausted. These potential synergies will be worked out to pool workflows and to intertwine and extend the respective target groups.

The narrative grammar and the business models of games are evolving at the speed of light. Christian Fonnesbech has produced and directed 35+ game projects for art, entertainment, advertising, and learning. He has blended Hollywood stars with cutting edge game mechanics and worked as a strategic advisor for game investors and developers.
In this session, he will dive into his personal and professional experiences; explaining what he learned from his award winning approach to making film and games blend together – as well as giving strategic insights into what storytellers and cultural entrepreneurs can learn from modern games. What lessons can storytellers take from cutting edge of game design? What are the key things that investors and publishers are looking for? How has the landscape for digital art and entertainment changed in the last 10 years?
