Moreover, at FITC #15, the experience reaches new dimensions, the show becomes immersive by including specific elements of multimedia technology - 3D projections, augmented reality, VR cameras, stop motion cameras, motion capture costumes. The themed workshops in the Festival programme also respond to the challenges of today's society - from one day to the next, technology is making huge strides and our role is to understand it and adapt it to our needs.
