MovieLabs 2030: It's no longer a vision - it's the way

IBC Owner & Partners Programme

At IBC in 2019, MovieLabs started an important industry conversation. The MovieLabs Vision introduced a bold roadmap for a future many considered aspirational. Today, studios and technology companies are not just talking about those ideas, they are building them. And in this session, we will demonstrate what we mean.
Join us for an exclusive first look of how the Vision is powering studio workflows. MovieLabs will also demonstrate what is possible now when context, interoperability, and intelligent automation - driven by the MovieLabs Ontology for Media Creation, come together. And studio leaders will discuss how filmmakers are increasingly looking to technology teams to create more time, better tools and more responsive ways of working - and how the Vision is increasingly becoming the way.
