The Festival University

Documentary 2022

Director: Julian Pixel Schmiederer

Commissioned by Ars Electronica & JKU

Challenge your thinking, broaden your horizon to co-create the future but what does it take to transform your world? In September 2021 100 students from 40 countries came together during the Ars Electronica Festival to reformulate the questions that drive the world. But soon it became clear that there is more than just one world to transform. Such a diverse group had other questions to deal with, developing a new human centered view on digitalization, climate change and migration. And just by that proposed a new idea of university, a university which should be a festival itself.
