‘Story Conference’

VAF’s Story Conference is a one-day conference on the fundamentals of storytelling, both from a philosophical and technical standpoint. Seasoned professionals from the movie, TV and game industries will share how they generate maximum impact through structure and psychological insights. Our aim is to inspire creators, both professionals and laymen, to reflect on the art of storytelling and to explore different media to express their ideas. The lunch during and the drink after the event are included in the ticket price.
