Now the interactive world of film, music, IT and AI has become borderless, "new territories" and "unknown territories" have emerged. No Maps will plot those new possibilities on a blank map, through various cooperations.
By leveraging the experience and business relationships we cultivated in the operation of the Sapporo International Short Film Festival, we plan to host a comprehensive and cutting-edge international convention that will cross over industry, science and culture through competitions, exhibitions conferences, workshops, and include short films, as well as "music" and "interactivity", two areas with great affinities.
