Join the Tribeca Film Institute and The New School's Department of Media Studies and Film for a discussion about the expansion of storytelling into burgeoning forms. This panel is part of New Visions for Film and Media Arts, a series that presents leaders from film and digital media production, financing, and distribution.

Tuesday, September 22  7:00 PM
The New School's Wollman Hall - Eugene Lang Building, 65 West 11th Street, 5th Floor (Enter at 66 West 12th Street)
Free -  No tickets or reservations required

Panelists include Thomas Allen Harris, filmmaker and founder of Chimpanzee Productions, currently working on the multi-media documentary project Through a Lens Darkly; Jay Randolph, activist and video blogger aka Jay Smooth; Nina Paley, filmmaker and former cartoonist and Kenneth Tin-Kin Hung, visual artist whose work is at once socially-conscious and irreverent. Moderated by Kelly DeVine, Artistic Director of the Global Peace Film Festival and consultant to Tribeca Film Institute’s web-based initiative Reframe.

Today's visionary storytellers employ the latest media tools and formats, no longer confined to film and theaters. The way they tell their stories has been shaped by the rise of short-form and user-generated content, video games, and virtual worlds that invite audience participation. At the same time, audiences are expanding their role by contributing pieces that collectively define larger, interactive projects.
