DIGI – Festival de Cultura Digital
01/18/2018 — 01/20/2018
Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil, Rio de Janeiro, RJ
DIGI is a festival of entertainment and reflection built around five pillars: video, audio, games, virtual reality and literature. It was held in the Banco do Brasil Cultural Centre in Rio de Janeiro, on January 18th, 19th and 20th, 2018.
Under the general coordination of Eva Doris Rosental, consultancy of Heloisa Buarque de Hollanda and the curatorship of Arthur Protasio (creative director of Fableware Narrative Design) and Henrique Granado (chairman of Jedi Rio), the trans-media event is wide-ranging both in the number of its platforms and its content.
The curatorial focus on Brazilian digital production was reflected in a program where 90% of the attractions were home-grown, including 32 games, 74 videos (about black consciousness, gender and diversity, short films and web series, vlogs and fan-films). There were also 12 debates/lectures, talk shows and shows by Preta-Rara (a rapper, art-educator and creator of the web series Nossa Voz Ecoa” — “Our Voice Echoes”), the orchestra Ritornello de Jedi (with a repertoire of soundtracks of video game, series and cartoons, for strings and voices) and by the band The Screeners, who present rock versions of the soundtracks of series, games and films.
