Beta Festival will feature a variety of performances, workshops and discussions as part of this year's programme including a number of events with our festival research partner ADAPT Research Centre and collaborations with D.A.T.A., Base, Fire Station Artists Studios, Creative Futures Academy and Creative Sparks Fab Lab.

We will also present Noire (France) in association with the French Embassy and Institut français, the Cannes award-winning immersive experience directed by Stéphane Foenkinos and Pierre-Alain Giraud, based on the work by Tania de Montaigne, produced by Novaya in partnership with the Centre Pompidou, co-produced with Flash Forward Entertainment.
