New Media

New languages, the same perspective on the present

The smile within the digital ecosystem

New media are today one of the most dynamic spaces of contemporary comedy. Fast-paced languages, active communities, short and serial formats: the smile reinvents itself, finding new ways of storytelling and connecting with the audience.

The evolution of humorous storytelling

The New Media section explores how humor evolves within the digital environment, through short formats, social satire and serial narratives. Creators and performers experiment with immediate and participatory languages, building a direct relationship with their communities.

The section also takes shape in a dedicated evening, the New Media Show, included in the festival’s official programme.

Digital comedy continues to reinvent the language of the smile, experimenting with ever new forms, rhythms and relationships with the audience.
