FOCUS DAY: GAMES takes place as part of the Festival of Future Storytellers and was jointly created by Seriencamp & CreatiF Center.

A day dedicated to games x film – with brunch, talks, and creative insights into the storytelling methods of the future! We explore how good storytelling works across media boundaries – and how both industries can learn from each other by exchanging tools, mindsets, and methods. How are game technologies shaping the future of storytelling – especially in film? And how can processes and creative approaches be transferred to open up new common paths?

These questions will be addressed at FOCUS DAY: GAMES, which will take place on November 19, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. as part of FOFS – Festival of Future Storytellers.

CREATIVE WORLDS: Worldbuilding Coherence and Vision Between Literature, Games and Film

 1:00PM | Hochschule für Fernsehen und Film, Kino 2
In his Metro trilogy, Dmitry Glukhovsky envisions a post-apocalyptic Moscow surviving in the subway, its society shaped by fear and conflict. His immersive world-building helped Metro 2033 grow into a global gaming IP, while a planned film adaptation was halted due to his opposition to authoritarianism. Through conversation with Melita Halilovic, we will explore how a strong creative vision can travel across media — and how story, brand, and community work together to build and sustain an IP over time.
With: Dmitry Glukhovsky (Online) | Author and Journalist; Melita Halilovic | Marketing Manager at Sony
