Intro keynote by Jorg Tittel: And now what ?
Jörg Tittel (England)
Jörg is a London based film- and game-maker. His game debut was the critically acclaimed The Last Worker (2023), the only game nominated at the 78th Venice Film Festival, and he’s the lead producer on A Winter’s Journey, a movie starring John Malkovich coming from Sony Pictures Classics in 2025.
Jörg founded RapidEyeMovers in order to put games at the centre of future entertainment and to apply his vast experience in film, live and transmedia production to making games in a more sustainable and innovative way.
Their first game, C-SMASH VRS, a collaboration with SEGA, was named Digital Foundry’s VR Game of 2023 and was nominated for a Golden Joystick Award. It came to PlayStation 5 (as a non-VR game) on 26th September 2024.
AAA games have shorter lifespans now than the batteries.
Indie gems get buried in landfills masquerading as stores.
Games media has finally succumbed to the same broken algorithms they’d been trying too hard to please.
Arts and entertainment have been here before.
How do we turn the gloom into a boom? And how do we stand on top of platforms instead of getting crushed?
