CATALONIA: THE GREAT VIDEOGAME STUDIO IN EUROPE

Activity description

One of the most distinctive characteristics of the human being is his continuous and unstoppable desire to escape to imaginary worlds where everything is possible. For millennia, we have expressed this desire using all the means that the technology of each moment has allowed us: paintings, sculptures, music, theatrical performances, books and, more recently, all kinds of audiovisual and interactive formats. Each of these means has offered us the sensation of being transported to alternative fantastic universes that evade us for a time from our reality.

Today, Catalan video game companies are helping hundreds of millions of people around the world to dream and live experiences beyond imagination. Some of its main managers share in this panel the keys to their work and discuss how the expansion of their sector can be an opportunity for the creative development of professionals from other fields of culture in Catalonia.
