NOWNESSecity: A Weeklong Festival of Cultural Exclusives

From October 25-31, 2012, we are pleased to present NOWNESSecity: A Weeklong Festival of Cultural Exclusives to celebrate the design evolution of our digital storytelling platform.  

This evolution introduces unique design enhancements that further encourage you to discover and explore our breadth of stories, while offering more intuitive navigation, curated content recommendations and easier sharing of stories.

Throughout this week we will showcase a diverse collection of stories representative of the content premiered on NOWNESS daily. To kick off the Festival on October 25^th, we will feature an interactive fashion project by filmmaker-photographer Barnaby Roper and starring Dutch supermodel Mirte Maas, where you are invited to create your own runway show.

Check back daily for more NOWNESSecity Cultural Exclusives including:

• An intimate portrait of Francis Ford Coppola and his family-centered 19^th- century Italian hotel

• A culinary romp with “Demon Chef” Alvin Leung of Michelin-starred restaurant Bo Innovation

• A beautiful and exhilarating look at the world of surfing with Australian world champion surfer Stephanie Gilmore

• Collaborations with filmmaker Zoe Cassavetes, United Visual Artists and more
  

Be sure to also take a look at our new VIDEO tab that compiles films from all content categories, and our redesigned ARCHIVE and CONTRIBUTOR tabs that make searching for past stories and our creative community more simple than ever. Finally, be sure to check out your new PROFILE page for tailored recommendations, a list of the stories you’ve LOVED and your past competition submissions.

We hope you enjoy the newly evolved NOWNESS!
