About NewImages Festival (https://newimages-hub.com/en/)
Since its creation in 2018, the NewImages Festival is structured around 3 main lines – gather, exchange and support all stakeholders of digital creation and virtual worlds – which have become constitutive of the festival’s DNA. In order to embody at best these values, the festival proposes every new edition to take on a challenge: offer for 5 days a programme representing the richness of the sector of digital and immersive creation, and all the mutations which it undergoes !
→ Each year, the first free days of the festival are specifically dedicated to professionals: the Industry Days offers an extensive programme of workshops, panel discussions and keynote presentations about digital and immersive creation and technologies, meanwhile the XR Market allows participants to meet and promote a wide diversity of projects - in development or completed.
→ During the entire festival, XR experiences selected through our XR Competition and XR Out-of-Competition open calls are showcased in the festival venue(s).
