A central focus of the programme is the Video Factory at the Ex Dogana in S. Lorenzo where industry experts will host free masterclasses in costume and set design, dubbing and special effects. Another highlight is the videomapping of the Palazzo della Civiltà - the headquarters of Fendi - by Laszlo Bordos, considered the greatest living videomapper.
