Multi-Academy-Award-winning Director Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain, Life
of Pi) to deliver visionary Keynote address on Monday 12 September at the
IBC2016 Conference in Amsterdam as part of the IBC Big Screen Experience.
The IBC Big Screen Experience is at the heart of the IBC2016
Conference where more than 300 speakers are expected to attend to share
insights on key issues at the heart of the entertainment, media and technology
sector under the headline conference theme, Transformation in the “Digital Era:
Leadership, Strategy and Creativity in Media and Entertainment.”
Julian Pinn,
Executive Producer, IBC Big Screen Experience said: “There is no finer keynote
presenter for this year’s IBC Big Screen Experience than Ang Lee and we are
very honored to be hosting him. For over two decades, Ang Lee has shown true
mastery in utilising cutting-edge science and cinematographic techniques
towards his creation of some of the very finest works of cinematic
story-telling art.”
Ang
Lee’s Keynote will set in the context of his latest work, Sony Pictures
Entertainment’s Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk (2016). The revolutionary new cinematographic
technique utilised not only unlocks a new level of story-telling power and
emotional connection with the on-screen characters but offers greater control
over preserving artistic integrity over the increasing range of delivery
formats both within cinema and to the wider electronic entertainment market.
