Both Brand New School and The Happy Corp will exhibit carefully curated 30 minute presentations of their own work, as well as motion graphics, animation, commercials or video art pieces that serve as inspiration or points of reference.

Cool Hunting will be presenting a selection of weekly in-house documentaries and video pieces featured on their website. Directly after each presentation, the audience will be invited to participate in a three distinct Q & A sessions with each individual speaker.
