About 2023 Event
The 3rd IMOVICCON aims to celebrate moving images by looking at their past, present, and future. It’s necessary to examine the past, the present, and the future of moving images since the past can be used as a reflection site. The present tells how far we’ve come, and it is even more interesting to see what the future holds for moving image culture.
Ever since the invention of the Phenakistoscope until the development of the Metaverse, moving image culture continued to evolve and became a huge inspiration for various research and publications. Its transdisciplinary nature also makes moving images approachable by every methodology available, making it possible to be explored and researched by multiple scientific disciplines.
This conference is an academic space for students, lecturers, researchers, practitioners, and moving image enthusiasts to exchange and share academic experiences and disseminate their recent research on all aspects of moving images. Submissions can address any aspect, but not limited to, of the past, the present, and the future of moving images.

Fringe Events
Conference fringe events located around the Conference Lounge and Lobby of UMN Building D. One of the main fringe events is a public film screening at the Lecture Theater with the theme “Past, Present, and Future of Filmmaking” which summarizes the evolution of cinema from the celluloid era to the AI era. In addition, we also offer a private movie screening experience through computer units at the venue. These screenings can also be accessed online through the filmkita.id platform managed by UMN’s Film Study Program, allowing more people to join this cinematic journey.
For a more immersive experience, we will also hold a private viewing for VR videos in collaboration with Arunika VR Studio. We hope that these conference fringe events can invite participants and the public to experience cinema in a new dimension and dig deeper into the past, present, and future of filmmaking. In addition, through the Conference Lounge available, it can also open up possibilities for collaboration from various parties which are expected to benefit UMN, especially the Film Study Program.
