This year’s Conference reunites academics (faculty, researchers, and Ph.D. students) and practitioners (filmmakers, artists, VR and game designers, and media producers) to explore the definitions, terms, and practices to frame the conditions of interaction and interactivity in three strands: epistemology, listening, and ecomedia.

Besides the paper debates, the Conference offers several research-creations exhibitions on interactive films and the following workshops: Korsakow Film with the founder Florian Thalhofer and Anna Wiehl, History on a 360° Platform with Betsy Newman and Patrick Hayes, and Interactive Storytelling with Cansu Simsek and Atanur Andic.

Our Keynote Speaker is Judith Aston, Associate Professor and Wallscourt Fellow in Film &Digital Arts, the University of the West of England. She has been for several years developing pioneering film and creative technology projects in the UK’s fledgling interactive and immersive media sectors. At UWE, she works across academia and industry to build interdisciplinary teams for teaching and research.

The new issue of #IFM Journal features all the paper video presentations and the description of the research-creations, and workshops from the #IFM2022, so during the Conference, we can focus on the debate and discussions rather than on live long presentations: https://journals.library.ryerson.ca/index.php/InteractiveFilmMedia/issue/view/133
