After its premiere in Berlin, and later Amsterdam and Tokyo, the first-ever virtual edition of "Scopes Driven By Porsche" is being presented in Southeast Asia by Porsche Asia Pacific to curate and provide a temporary space for those who are driven by dreams and want to go beyond cultural conventions to pursue their passion and create the perspectives of tomorrow.

Running until Sept 17, the virtual festival is hosted on an independent platform to unite a young, dynamic group of creators from the region. It features a variety of inspiring stories including documentaries, workshops, podcast series, interactive live panels and talks to encourage exchanges and dialogue on what the future in the region could look like with visionaries and driven individuals helping to shape the narrative.

The themes are rooted in values that make up Porsche's DNA and are simultaneously present in the Asian zeitgeist -- a pioneering spirit in harmony with tradition, design, and sustainability.

The festival also puts Asian female artists on the map and empowers other female artists with similar ambitions in the industry. Four renowned women who have been invited to share their journeys in pursuing their dreams while breaking out of cultural norms are Narelle Kheng, Ramengvrl, Jess Connelly, and Suboi.

Expect to see thought leaders and industry experts who are at the forefront of change in the food, fashion, and urban communities in a series of sustainability live panel discussions as well as a special preview of The Naked Arctic Adventure.

The documentary chronicles Stephanie Dickson and Paula Miquelis on their expedition to the Arctic Circle to witness the effects of climate change first-hand. Both are founders of Green Is The New Black, Asia's first-ever conscious festival and platform.

Also, learn more about those behind Wonderfruit, the popular music, art and lifestyle festival in Thailand, in Art In A field: A Look Behind The Art Curation At Wonderfruit. The film explores the curation and collaboration with various artists to design a festival that is rooted in sustainability.

Another highlight is "Driving Tomorrow", a series of dialogues between passionate individuals from different walks of life who share their stories told from their own lens.
