MediaTech Hub Conference

How can we make sure the future of storytelling is both accessible and diverse? Major US public broadcaster PBS is leading the way, incubating boundary-pushing forms of narrative experience with POV Spark, a new unit for interactive and immersive documentary media projects. With interactive visual podcasts, VR experiences and new projects to leverage the storytelling potential of Instagram, creative rethinking of entertainment technology is key to this future-forward approach to media with a social mission. But this isn't all - international cooperation, editorial integrity, diversity, transparency and accessibility are equally integral to POV Spark's mission. In this visionary keynote, interactive storytelling expert Opeyemi Olukemi will speak about her work as Executive Producer at POV Spark, sharing learnings through inspiring case studies that create a much-needed platform for diverse audiences and creators.
