Separated into sections — PauseStage, PausePlayground, PauseScreen and many more — the festival will host 14 screenings, six industry workshops, and eight interactive projects to help budding creatives, or just people interested in digital media, to flourish. One key highlight in PauseStage.
PauseStage is a one day event hosted at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre aimed to provide professional development within the creative industry. Creative minds speaking include Vimeo Festival + Awards Director Jeremy Boxer, Jason White from Leviathan and Mark Simpson from Sydney’s Sixty40 Studios. These media wizards will show you the magic behind their industries and tips on how to get there.
PausePlayground will be hosting Iloura, one of Melbourne’s most reputable animation and design studios. There you will be able to pitch, engage in a Q&A with the studio representations.
Other highlights include PauseView, a series of interactive projects; PauseEd, a collection of undergraduate and postgraduate animation, etc; and Loopdeloop, animations curated by Loopdeloop to the theme of FUTURE.
