Fair event’s outreach: Storytelling goes across cultures

SUN YE, November 30. 1999

Skyscrapers, software and digital devices are similar across the globe. But while the world becomes more homogenized, there's an equally strong counterforce seeking the roots and characters of different cultures.

ABOUT STORYDRIVE

Industry boundaries are getting more and more indistinct. A story is no longer bound to a single format – it can be told through a variety of media and across various channels and formats.

To harness this potential, the Frankfurt Book Fair created the all-media platform Frankfurt StoryDrive in 2010. Frankfurt StoryDrive reflects the changes, developments and trends that are currently evolving in the content industries.

It is the first organised business platform that brings together the worlds of media and entertainment. StoryDrive takes place every October during the Frankfurt Book Fair, the biggest media fair in the world.
