Iain Tait - Food Arts & Technology (Founder, Digital Strategy, Creative Direction)

Is AI the end of humanity? A chance for us to rethink how things work? An unworkable utopian thought experiment? A VC-backed scam at the end of late-stage capitalism? A chance to revolutionise everything? Or all of it at the same time? Through a combination of experiments, demos, and “nonsense acquired at the intersection of culture and technology,” Iain wants to inspire more of us to get involved in shaping this foundational technology.

Like music resonates on both emotional and intellectual levels, Film with real stories confront audiences with ethical dilemmas and moral questions, encouraging them to reflect on their own values. How can real stories make a real impact? Are we harvesting the potential of Storytelling in film and music? Can film and music jointly create the momentum we need to make effective changes?

Rebekka Karijord

Rebekka's unorthodox approach to scoring involved taking field recordings of the glaciers, forest, and river within the valley and working closely with the London Contemporary Orchestra to translate them into a musical, orchestral palette. This unique method of composing brings the music even closer to embodying the essence of the nature seen on screen, connecting on a deeper emotional level the wonder that is truly all around us. …the visuals, sound design and score are more impressive than in any big-budget nature documentary… - Cineuropa

"Songs of Earth" by Margreth Olin is a breathtaking documentary that intertwines the filmmaker's personal connection to her aging parents with the awe-inspiring landscapes of Western Norway. Through intimate visuals and meditative storytelling, it reflects on nature’s timeless beauty and the cycles of life. A profound cinematic experience, it captures the deep bond between family and the natural world.
