Thank you!
On 9 October 2026, the Norwegian and international VFX community came back to Cinemateket to mark twenty years of Digital Storytelling — and to ask what comes next for the craft in the age of the new machine.
To everyone who spoke, attended, and made the journey: thank you. Photos and highlights from the day are on their way.
Twelve editions.
90+ speakers.
19 workshops and masterclasses.
Over a thousand attendees.
“The talent was always there. What has been especially rewarding to witness is how the Norwegian VFX community has remained supportive and collaborative over the years whilst consistently delivering world-class artists and work.”
DAYNE COWAN, VFX Supervisor (DNEG, Framestore) and three-time VES Board Member
“Digital Storytelling has been the premier Nordic gathering for VFX professionals and students alike and has always been a great place to catch up with old friends and make new ones. I'm excited to see it return.”
THEODOR GROENEBOOM, VES Award winner, Gravity
“For a cinematographer with an interest in every kind of visual effect, the Digital Storytelling events have been of real value. The presentations of new tools, techniques and creative projects were consistently inspiring, and the chance to talk and exchange ideas with VFX professionals was genuinely useful."
MORTEN SKALLERUD, Cinematographer and BVE Honorary Award recipient
“DS was among the first to bring leading international VFX talent to Oslo, playing an important role in bringing the Scandinavian VFX community closer together. Always a must-attend event, inspiring and genuinely educational in equal measure.”
ARNE KAUPANG, Visual Effects Supervisor — six-time Amanda Award winner
