If you’re interested in joining fellow filmmakers, artists, designers, social media mavens, and developers in Fermo, Le Marche Italy, as they explore innovative storytelling techniques and produce a project for the town of Fermo, then be sure to check out MEDIARS Fermo 2014.

Organized by Alessandro Marianantoni, Researcher at UCLA’S REMAP institute, MEDIARS Fermo 2014 is the 5th edition of the multifaceted experimental approach to read and communicate the beauty of a territory. Using new media tools, the workshop crafts an innovative interface to tell stories about the town of Fermo—its richness in history, characters and traditions. The contemporary digital era heavily relies on transmedia: filmmaking, interactive media design, and emerging technologies to internationally communicate local contents and information, all of which are central to the workshop.

MEDIARS Fermo runs June 21 to July 5, 2014 and a special offer of 10% off tuition fees ($185) is available for all Transforming Hollywood 5 attendees.

Apply soon, a limited number of scholarships will be awarded! Visit www.mediars.eu/fermo2014 for more information and contact info@mediars.eu to request an application.
