Fantasy, myth and modernity

Whether fairytale films, horror satires, fantasy series or games, the fantastic remains a perennial favorite.

This panel asks why stories about magic, transformation and the supernatural are booming again, especially now, in a time characterized by facts and crises.

What makes them socially relevant? Where does escapism end and cognition begin?

And - how does artificial intelligence now also have a say when it comes to creating fantasy, interpreting myths and recreating worlds?

With: Johannes Grenzfurthner, director, presenter, and so much more, Michèle M Salmony Di Stefano, storyteller, performer, psychosocial counselor, and others.
