What makes this year especially different is how they are programming. An Unprecedented Line-up of Story, Technology Leaders and Talent at 14th New Media Film Festival® Los Angeles/Hybrid
Programming includes 106 New Media films & content. 37 World - 10 US - 41 L.A. Premieres Judges from Marvel, HBO, PBS, BBC, ABC, GRAMMYS, EMMYS, Simon & Schuster. $45,000 in Awards.

From 22 countries - Australia, Canada, China, Colombia, Faroe Islands, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Italy, United States, Uruguay
What this means. Freedom. Freedom to program stories for a more enjoyable experience as well as having people that normally would not experience a category, now have a chance to participate.
Instead. the entire programming was based on a flow of story from beginning to end. You could be watching a digital comic, then a short, then an AI created short and each day of the festival (June 7th 2023 2023 #film #festival #newmedia online & June 8 2023 2023 #film #festival #newmedia in Los Angeles) has a different story flow/programming. Full line up https://www.newediafilmfestival.com/events

When festival director, Susan Johnston ( https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm0426856/?ref_=instant_nm_1&q=susan%20johnston ) was speaking with long standing Sponsor, Rich Gentilcore about this, he replied "That's never been done before.

ABOUT: The festivals mandate is, Honoring Stories Worth telling in 28 categories of classic & technology programming, and this year an unprecedented challenge occurred. The traditional block of screenings by genre or theme did not flow well for a great audience or content creator experience. Content for each day of the festival was programmed from the total. So, the audience is seeing stories unfold in a manner that take you on experiences with no bearing on which of the 28 categories they are a nominee.
