FMX 2019 Announces ‘Bridging the Gap’ Theme

Animation and VFX conference, set for next April 30-May 3, will highlight worldviews and workflows that inspire artistic exchange. 

LUDWIGSBURG, GERMANY -- Bridging the Gap has been set as the theme for the upcoming FMX – Conference on Animation, Effects, Games and Immersive Media, which will open its doors at Haus der Wirtschaft in Stuttgart, Germany, from April 30 to May 03, 2019. The annual 4-day conference is one of the industry’s premiere events, each year welcoming professionals and students from the areas of film, technology, art, business and science.

The central theme of FMX 2019, Bridging the Gap, will highlight worldviews and workflows that inspire exchange in the fields of animation, effects, games and immersive media. FMX 2019 speakers will discuss the following questions: How can artistic expression unite with technological invention? What are the possibilities to link human and artificial intelligence? How can younger generations cross over from education into the industry? How can we create social awareness through popular culture? What strategies and efforts should be pursued to take the leap from indie to IP? How can we bridge the left and right sides of the brain? These and other related issues will be the focus of presentations, workshops, masterclasses, exhibition floors and screenings.

In this spirit, FMX 2019 is dedicated to bridging the gaps between people and projects from around the world. The FMX ticket shop at www.fmx.de will open on Thursday, January 10, 2019. The first program highlights will be released soon.
