Aimed at professionals working in film, gaming, and other creative industries, Promised Land Art Festival is a place for the exchange of knowledge and experience, for networking, and crossing the divide between digital and traditional arts — areas of the creative process that lie at the core of CD PROJEKT RED as a game development studio. Throughout four days of the festival, participants will have the opportunity to take part in more than 100 hours of activities, including talks, discussion panels, hands-on workshops, masterclasses, demos, as well as Q&A and networking sessions. The event will once again take place in EC1 Łódź — a former power station, modernized and now serving as a center for culture and science.

Speakers at the event represented some of the most recognizable names in games, films, and lifestyle such as Capcom, Disney, Pixar Animation Studios, Paramount Pictures, BioWare, MachineGames, Framestore, Digic Pictures, MPC London, Double Negative, and CD PROJEKT RED.
