FilmGate Interactive is an Interactive Media Festival exploring how emerging technology, empowers the content of the future. We redefine the way we conceive and share our stories, together, democratically and inclusively, representing the diverse voices of our extended region. Over five days during Art Basel week in Miami, FIlmGate Interactive. we celebrate visual storytellers and supporting industries through screenings, exhibits, creative labs, master classes, immersive art installations, music, and live events.
FilmGate Interactive 11 will be from December 4th to 8th, 2024 and will take place in Miami, Florida. Since our launch, we have hosted over 200 fire and pool chats, labs, showcased the works of 400+ creatives, and co-produced 20 creative projects. Our programming is focused but not exclusive to the issues of our region that resonate globally: climate change, social justice, immigration, accessibility, and equality. We search for originality, innovation, and boldness, as we shape new roads for humanity. Last year's theme was Regenerate X.
In 2023, audiences and creators were invited to attend virtually and in person, and our programming was focused on outdoor, accessible installations, as well as the most impactful interactive and immersive projects from around the world. As we approach a united virtual space at increasing rate, aka "the metaverse", we continue to explore the multiverses and 3D spaces that are paving the roads to the future.
