The third Zurich Feature Film Conference, ZFICTION.24, was dedicated to the art of film acting. Under the title “Future Bodies – Screen Acting in the Digital Age,” the conference examined contemporary and future developments in film acting against the backdrop of digital transformation and new models of participation and diversity.
What is “film acting”? Under what conditions does it arise? How can the collaboration between actors, coaches, and directors succeed artistically and personally? Who is allowed to play which role – and why? Are actors becoming data suppliers for digital workflows with AI? What constitutes contemporary training?
ZFICTION.24 fand am 21. und 22. März 2024 live auf der Bühne A in der Gessnerallee in Zürich statt.
