About Novembre Numérique:
November Digital, the international festival of digital cultures, has become in five years a regular meeting of the French cultural network abroad, at the service of innovation and the promotion of digital cultures.
This event is growing every year, with programs offered in more than 80 countries and 130 cities in 2022. This strong mobilization demonstrates the commitment of the Institut français and the French cultural network abroad to promote access for all to new technologies, to promote the diversity of French digital creation, and to build lasting partnerships with foreign professionals.
The events organized in the establishments of the cultural network or those of its partners, in situ or online, make it possible to highlight French innovation in the field of digital creation – virtual and augmented reality, video games, new narratives, art digital, audiovisual performances, immersive theater, etc. – and report on the digital transformation of network establishments.
At the time of the metaverse, NFTs, and artificial intelligence, Novembre Numérique aims more broadly to promote an international dialogue between creators, professionals in the sector, and the public around new uses and digital challenges.
