With the persisting pandemic and advancing digitisation of cultural activities, artists and curators will discuss how they present and adapt existing works for virtual audiences and produce future projects. How do virtual presentations offer new possibilities for collaboration, inclusivity, and internationalism to foster a new film culture that is true to our time?

In this online conversation, as part of M+ International, moving image artists Shireen Seno, Cici Wu, Kawita Vatanajyankur, and Kim Heecheon, and curators Jihoi Lee and Silke Schmickl will share experiences about Watch and Chill, a travelling exhibition co-presented by MMCA in Seoul, MCAD in Manila, MAIIAM in Chiang Mai, and M+ in Hong Kong. Conceived in a hybrid format consisting of an online streaming platform and physical presentations across the four cities, this project emerged from a collective desire to create a platform for the exchange of moving image works.
