Drawing on the successes of the inaugural Digital Storytelling conference hosted by the BBC in Wales in 2003, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image is proud to present First Person: International Digital Storytelling Conference. ACMI is Australia’s only international centre for Digital Storytelling and has recorded hundreds of stories through our hands-on workshop programs. First Person will showcase Digital Storytelling as a new cinema of personal portrait, engage with story as an interactive practice and investigate the use of technology as a potential to share meaningful stories as a global community.

First Person encourages a broad range of participation from across sectors, and offers inspiration to anyone interested in exploring the powerful potential of storytelling. The conference is essential for Digital Storytelling practitioners, media artists and academics in media games and cultural studies. It will be of interest to telecommunications providers and those with an interest in Digital Storytelling as a communication and educational tool. Community development practitioners, those involved in the oral history and museum industries and representatives from the health sector will find this conference enlightening.

First Person: International Digital Storytelling Conference takes place Friday 3 February to Sunday 5 February at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) in Melbourne, Australia
