The VIEW Conference kicks off in Turin, Italy on 14th October, and befores & afters will be there. There’s five days of incredible talks planned on VFX, animation, virtual production, filmmaking and more.

It’s almost impossible to highlight every talk, but for those VFXers thinking of attending, we thought we’d highlight a few must-see visual effects presentations on offer. Some are on brand new productions, while others are more retro.
