First Person draws on the success of the inaugural Digital Storytelling conference hosted by the BBC in Wales in 2003. The Australian Centre for the Moving Image is Australia's premier engine for screen and digital culture industries, and as the national centre for Digital Storytelling, has recorded hundreds of stories through hands-on workshop programs.
The conference presents three thematic areas that explore Digital Storytelling as a new cinema of personal portrait, examines story as an interactive practice, and investigate the potential uses of technology to share meaningful stories on a global scale. The conference thematics are:
Broadcast convergence: new forms of storytelling
Storytelling and the digital generation
Democratization and documentation of voice
see program for details
Selected important global projects and case studies will be used to explore these powerful thematics. Discussion panels and a range of workshops will be held, including a Digital Storytelling Master Class run by the Center for Digital Storytelling and ACMI.
who should register?
First Person will encourage a broad range of participation from across sectors, and will offer inspiration to anyone interested in exploring the powerful potential of storytelling. The conference is essential for Digital Storytelling practitioners, media artists, and academics in media, games and cultural studies. It will also be of interest to telecommunications providers and those interested in Digital Storytelling as a communication and educational tool. Community development practitioners, those involved in the oral history and museum industries, and representatives from the health sector, too, will find this conference enlightening.
