The medium and practice of cinema has evolved beyond recognition. And in parallel we recognize the rapid development of other\, more recent\, entertainment media and understand that it is essential to examine the impact of these radical changes and their potential infuence on one another. There is no longer reasonable justification for considering the crafts of  lm\, animation\, television\, interactive media\, and post- cinematic media space of mixed\, virtual and augmented reality to be distinct and separate.” \n  \nConfirmed presenters for Saturday\, March 4th: \n  \nHarrison Ellenshaw – Artist extraordinaire who will share his experiences from the birth of modern visual effects. https://www.harrisonellenshaw.com/ \n  \nGuy Martin – Principal at Guy Martin Design and member of the Association of Robots in Architecture\, counts among his clients: SpaceX\, Philippe Starck\, and many others.
