ABU Digista teens is an exciting new project which will see talented young artists from the Asia-Pacific region and beyond, crafting digital images while being mentored by top professional artists. There will be movie production workshops held around Asia to nurture aspiring artists and enable them to create digital images together. The ABU Digista teens’ objective is to encourage young people to master digital media while expressing themselves artistically.
Their involvement in this project also enables them to expose their digital artwork online to the world as well as meet other artistically inclined youths from Asian communities through the International Image Festival. This year, the ABU Digital teens project will culminate in the International Image Festival which will be held on November 20. The event will be hosted by public broadcaster NHK-Japan. Broadcasters TRT-Turkey and NBT-Thailand will serve as satellite studios. At present, nine organisations from nine countries have confirmed their participation.
