Ang Lee To Deliver Keynote At IBC2016

Ang Lee, the multi Academy Award winning director, will deliver Keynote address at the IBC2016 Conference as part of this year's IBC Big Screen Experience. The event will take place on Monday 12 September.

Ang Lee's Keynote will set in the context of his latest work, Sony Pictures Entertainment's Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk (2016). The new cinematographic technique used offers a new level of story-telling power and emotional connection with the on-screen characters, as well as greater control over preserving artistic integrity over the increasing range of delivery formats both within cinema and to the wider electronic entertainment market.

Julian Pinn, Executive Producer, IBC Big Screen Experience, said: "There is no finer keynote presenter for this year's IBC Big Screen Experience than Ang Lee and we are very honoured to be hosting him. For over two decades, Ang Lee has shown true mastery in utilising cutting-edge science and cinematographic techniques towards his creation of some of the very finest works of cinematic story-telling art."

The IBC Big Screen Experience is where more than 300 speakers are expected to attend to share insights on key issues at the heart of the entertainment, media and technology sector.
