For the future of play!

AltNext exists at a turning point for storytelling, where film, games, XR, and AI increasingly intersect. As audiences shift from passive viewing to active participation, new narrative forms are emerging faster than existing frameworks can define them. AltNext provides a space to examine these changes critically, bringing creators, technologists, and industry stakeholders together to explore how stories are made, experienced, and valued today.

Based in Shanghai, a global hub for creative technology and cultural exchange, AltNext connects local innovation with international perspectives, positioning storytelling as both an artistic practice and an evolving industry shaped by collaboration across disciplines.

Talks, panels, and keynotes examining the evolution of storytelling across film, games, XR, AI, and emerging markets — with a focus on industry shifts, creative practice, and future-facing perspectives.

A curated selection of interactive, immersive, and experimental works, highlighting new narrative forms and audience experiences beyond traditional linear formats.
