[Commlist] Digital Storytelling Festival, Zakynthos, Sept 2024

1st International Digital Storytelling Festival
We, The story (DST-Zakynthos 2024)
https://dstfestival.org
27 – 29 September 2024, Zakynthos, Greece

The Greek Island of Zakynthos (Zante) constitutes a spot in time and 
space where the convergence of diverse
sociocultural narratives takes place: Hugo Foscolos, Andreas Kalvos, 
Dionysios Solomos (national poet of Greece),
and Andreas Vesalius are amongst the island's most notable cultural figures.

With that in mind, four Laboratories from three Greek Universities 
(National and Kapodistrian University of Athens,
University of the Aegean, Ionian University) have collaborated to 
organise the biannual International Digital
Storytelling Festival (DST-Zakynthos)1, between the biannual DST 
conferences.

DST-Festival celebrates the art of digital storytelling. DST-Festival is 
expected to constitute a space where the
diverse community-driven digital stories can be communicated to the 
broader community, shared, and critically
reflected upon by experts (artists, scientists, medical doctors etc.) 
and by the Festival participants (DST creators
or not).

The 1st International Digital Storytelling Festival “We, The story” 
(DST-Zakynthos 2024) will be hosted by the
"Foskolos" multi-purpose hall (https://cinefoskolos.gr).
DST-Zakynthos 2024 comprises a competitional and a non-competitional part.
The competitional part of Festival is organized in six themes:
• Culture
• Education
• Environment
• Health
• Science – Research
• Society
Each creator may compete to any competitional theme (maximum two DSTs 
per creator in total).
Who can contribute with a DST to the Festival? DST is characterised by 
the creator’s truth, a personal narrative,
crucially differing from a video clip or a short film. We accept any DST 
created within an acknowledged institution,
organization etc. (accompanied with a respective verification Letter), 
or an Independently created DST
(accompanied with a Letter briefly explaining the process of its 
creation). Each submission includes the DST (with
the respective Letter), an Authorisation Letter (that the DST may be 
showed in public), and a Letter of Commitment
(that the DST may be included in the Festival programme), payment of the 
handling fees (15 euros per DST).
Detailed information about the procedures of entering the DST festival 
competition may be found at
https://dstfestival.org, while queries may be sent to (info /at/ dstfestival.org).
Considering the non-competitional part, this year, the Festival will 
host a special session devoted to Greece,
entitled “hiStories across the topos and the chronos.”

Furthermore, in parallel with the Festival, DST-workshops will be 
organized by DST-specialists for those who wish
to experience the process of DST creating.
