Moving Conversations, the event format that combines lively debate with TV and film clips is launching in London on 24th March. The format, created by Futurist Cinema [www.futuristcinema.com], brings together subject experts and clips from ITN Source [www.itnsource.com], the worlds biggest broadcast footage library, for lively debates with invited audiences. Over the past 18 months, Moving Conversations have been run in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dublin and Liverpool and covered a huge array of subjects including renewable energy, fast food, business, banking, digital entertainment, media, the oil industry, cities of the future and the economy. The format has been used by Ernst & Young, McGrigors, Bank of Scotland and RenewableUK to engage with customers, partners and influencers in a new and refreshing way.
Michael Groves, Director of Futurist Cinema said: "The format hinges on the breadth and depth of the ITN Source archive, which is phenomenal. The clips inject a strong element of entertainment into the debate and really help to bring the panellists arguments alive. Audiences love it and are drawn into the debate in a way that standard presentations are not able to do."
On 24th March, a Moving Conversation will debate the future of Britains cities at the Institution of Civil Engineers. The event is hosted by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, Heriot-Watt and Cambridge Universities and brings together business, government, NGOs and academia to look into the future of the UK urban environment. The expert panel includes Paul Morrell [the UK government's construction czar], Martin Powell from the London Assembly, Geoff Mulgan from the Young Foundation, Peter Heath from Atkins and Professor Peter Guthrie from Cambridge University. Order will be maintained by Professor Paul Jowitt, the President of the Institution of Civil Engineers.
