April 8-12: Vibewire and the Media That Matters Festival crew kick off the e-FESTIVAL OF IDEAS!

Virewire.net and the Arts Engine team have joined together for this year's e-Festival of Ideas. Based in Melbourne, Australia, but located online, this year's forum discussions will feature some of the most interesting guests that our global media and arts landscape has to offer.

The e-Festival will be five days of online discussion around democracy, media, arts and social change, live and unmediated with special guests from around the world and, most importantly, you. Our own Media That Matters staff, as well as other Arts Engine Programs and Tech staff, will be joining the discussions as well.

This year's six forum discussion topics are:

* e-Participation: Fad or future?
* 2018: New frontiers in digital arts
* Reworking Feminism: Gender equality in the 21st century
* Reaching Off the Screen: Film, audiences and social change
* The Creative Entrepreneur's Toolkit: A how-to guide for young artists
* Are You Being Heard? Youth voices in local government

We will be joining in the Reaching off the screen: Film, audiences, and social change discussion, which will focus on how to make a difference through film given the changing relationship between film content and film form in our fast-evolving technological world. The rest of the crew will be contributing to the other forum topics as they are so inspired.

So jump into a forum and start a conversation with filmmakers, activists, and non-profit organizations now!
