Povezivanje filmskih produkcijskih studija, studija za animaciju i vizuelne efekte, IT stručnjaka, reditelja, scenarista, producenata, distributera, kao i čitave filmske zajednice – jedan je od primarnih ciljeva Novi Sad film festivala.
Connecting film production studios, animation and visual effects studios, IT experts, directors, screenwriters, producers, distributors, and the entire film community is one of the primary goals of the Novi Sad Film Festival.
Kako nastaje savršena harmonija između umetnikove mašte i tehnološkog napretka, te kako ožive svetovi koji su bili nezamislivi – na ova pitanja daće odgovore IT stručnjaci i oni iz oblasti animacije, kao i stručnjaci za vizuelne efekte u okviru programske celine Industry, koji govori o neizostavnim delovima filmske industrije i umetnosti stvaranja filmova. Ovo će biti način da se razmene iskustva i nove prakse, odnosno da se razvije novi prostor za unapređivanje, edukaciju i umrežavanje filmskih radnika i sa njima povezanih struka.
Ovaj segment festivala donosi publici dve specijalne filmske projekcije domaćih studija za animaciju ILBE Studios (Beograd i Novi Sad) i Furuna Crafts (Novi Sad) – Prince of the Seas i Puffins Impossible, koje će biti prikazane 23. i 24. septembra u bioskopu Arena Cineplex. Nakon projekcija, publika će biti u prilici da posluša razgovor sa autorskom ekipom. Prvi dokumentarni animirani dugometražni film Prince of the Seas, koji je od početka do kraja realizovan u Novom Sadu, u produkciji lokalnih studija za animaciju ILBE Studios i Furuna Crafts uz podršku Ministarstva kulture Republike Srbije, povešće ljubitelje sedme umetnosti na putovanje kroz sećanja princa Alberta I, najvećeg reformatora Monaka, od perioda u španskoj kraljevskoj mornarici do oplovljavanja polarnih krugova. Za to vreme, otkriva se životni put ovog izvanrednog čoveka, podeljen između odgovornosti kraljevske titule i ljubavi prema morima i okeanima.
Takođe, Industry program doneće i priču o pet neobičnih superheroja – arktičkih ptica sa supermoćima i njihovim avanturama. Reč je o animiranom serijalu Puffins Impossible sa Džonijem Depom u glavnoj ulozi, u potpunosti kreiranom u Srbiji u domaćem studiju za animaciju ILBE Studios, te produciranom u Archangel Digital Studios, uz podršku Ministarstva kulture Republike Srbije, a prema originalnoj ideji osnivača ILBE grupe. U mnogim naizgled apsurdnim situacijama, kroz šalu i gegove, deca se na zabavan način upoznaju sa temama poput rodne i rasne ravnopravnosti, značaja zajedništva, poštovanja različitosti, zaštite životne sredine i drugih. Serijal je dostupan na svetskim striming platformama Apple TV, Amazon Prime, Google Play, Chilli TV i Tatatu, u više od 120 zemalja. Specijalna festivalska projekcija epizoda serijala biće prva i jedinstvena prilika da se domaća publika upozna sa projektom na kojem radi više od 300 umetnika i kreativnih stručnjaka, za milionski auditorijum širom sveta.
Novi Sad će tokom četiri dana trajanja festivala pokazati zašto važi za jedan od najvećih IT centara u Srbiji i regionu, kao i zašto su baš ovde svoje mesto pronašli neki od vodećih svetskih studija za animaciju i vizuelne efekte. Uz panel-diskusije kojima će moderirati afirmisani stručnjaci, publika će biti upućena u aktuelne teme iz sveta filma i novih tehnologija.
Uz moderatora Ivicu Milarića, stručnjaka u oblasti video-igara i digitalnih medija, na panelu Cinematics biće otvorena pitanja o međusobnom uticaju filma i gejminga. Na koji način ove dve gigantske industrije menjaju jedna drugu, te koliko je sama filmska umetnost podložna inovacijama pod uticajem novih tehnologija govoriće panelisti Aleksandar Bedov, Aleksandar Stojanović, Đorđe Marković i Miloš Platiša.
Vukašin Šoć, docent i šef studijskog programa Dizajn video-igara i scenarista u ILBE studiju, vodiće razgovor o novim vizuelnim efektima koji menjaju tokove savremenog filma sa Zoranom Jovičićem i Tamarom Simić, dok će profesor Mileta Poštić govoriti o digitalnoj eri koja je značajno menjala puteve filmskog stvaralaštva, pa i kreirala nove žanrove.
Svake godine, Novi Sad film festival predstaviće po jedan pobratimski festival lokalnoj publici i medijima. Ovoga puta, u godini kada slave svoj 70. rođendan, to će biti Pula film festival, dok će direktorka renomiranog festivala, Tanja Miličić, govoriti u okviru panela Sedamdeset godina filmskog festivala u Puli. Najstariji hrvatski filmski festival prošao je kroz brojne faze i promene tokom dugih sedam decenija, no opstao je kao jedan od simbola filmske istorije Hrvatske, regiona, pa i Evrope. Stoga, razmena iskustava sa liderima renomiranih kulturnih projekata je od velikog značaja i za sam Novi Sad film festival, ali i za informisanje publike o značajnim regionalnim i drugim festivalima.
Prvo izdanje internacionalnog Novi Sad film festivala obuhvatiće i razgovore posle projekcija filmova, pa će tako publika imati priliku da čuje i o samom nastanku filmova, kao i o procesu rada autorske ekipe.
Kroz sinergiju umetnosti i tehnologije, animacija danas ostavlja neizbrisiv pečat u svetu filma. Davanjem značaja ovakvim programima, Novi Sad film festival ne samo da prati savremene tokove, već predstavlja platformu za umetnike svih filmskih sfera koji u predstojećem, prvom izdanju NSFF-a, demonstriraju kako tehnologija može nadahnuti i obogatiti filmsku umetnost. Atraktivnost ovogodišnjeg Industry programa biće prava prilika za publiku da se upozna sa načinima putem kojih tehnološki napredak može biti snažan saveznik umetničkog izraza.
