Moderated by Ana Brzezińska, the online discussion saw Olivier Fontenay of Cnc [National Centre for Cinema and the Moving Image], Novelab’s Amaury La Burthe as well as Anja and Bracey Smith behind Potential Synergy, coming together to ponder how lockdown, and everything that comes with it, has impacted their industry.
“Covid accelerated things that were happening already,” said Bracey Smith, occasionally turning into the invisible man due to a technical glitch. “We are already moving towards this digital, remote world with virtual reality, so this was a placement check: ‘Where are you now?’” The situation, he stressed, also forced people to reassess where they want to be. “I wasn’t happy with the tools or platforms that existed. It pushed me away from creating a specific artistic expression,...
