Keynote | Disruption in Storytelling (EN)

This keynote will be held in English.

The creative business of storytelling is constantly evolving. Technological developments in the publishing industry twenty years ago had a massive impact on how we consume stories, how storytellers are “discovered”, and even how the product is sold. Publishing wasn’t ready for the ebook format, nor had it anticipated the mass adoption of indie (self-)publishing by authors. In this session, we will explore how the industry might approach new threats and opportunities, such as AI, and examine the overlaps between novel writing and screenwriting - how authors twenty years ago were inspired by “indie” film, and whether we are now coming full circle, with filmmakers rediscovering the idea of “indie”.
