About this event

The Centre for Film & Ethics Annual Lecture is presented by May Abdalla.

May Abdalla, director of the internationally reputed ANAGRAM, introduces the power of interactive storytelling. She will explain the design process behind the studio's award-winning productions from Door into the Dark, a blindfolded immersive journey into what it means to be lost in an age of infinite information, to the Grand Jury Prize winning ‘Goliath: Playing with Reality’, their most recent work, a stunning VR experience about schizophrenia, gaming and connection. She will share her expertise on how technology, physicality and storytelling can combine to elicit emotion and connection. Reflecting on the new landscapes of live virtual non-fiction spaces in the metaverse, this lecture will explore the developing ethical questions emerging in this realm.
