Second Keynote Revealed at the Cinekid Industry Forum: "Glitching the Real – Games That Reconnect Us" with Tamara Shogaolu

Cinekid for Professionals is excited to invite you to the second keynote of this year’s Industry Forum, "Glitching the Real: Games That Reconnect Us," with Emmy Award-winning director and innovative storyteller, Tamara Shogaolu. Known for her unique approach to storytelling, Tamara will explore how gaming can go beyond entertainment to reconnect us with real-world communities and often unheard stories.

Her latest piece, Anouschka, blends Mixed Reality (XR) and gaming, offering an intimate look at the lives of historically marginalised voices. As the founder of Ado Ato Pictures, and the first Black Latina woman to lead a studio in film, animation, and technology, her work has been shown at festivals and galleries worldwide. Recognised by Forbes, The Guardian, and Vogue for her contributions to the field, Tamara’s creations have been featured at venues such as MoMA and the Tribeca Film Festival.

Join us for this keynote to hear Tamara’s perspective on how gaming and storytelling can help us reconnect with the world around us. This is a valuable opportunity to learn from one of the leading voices in the industry.
