MGM Theater at MGM COTAI presented the global premiere of the world’s first Digital Collective MOVIE “SHIP” by Art Tokyo Global Japan, earlier on June 2. The film “SHIP” is a revolutionized presentation of art – primarily set in a meta-universe space where music, theatrical performance and art integrate with technology, sailing through the history of human civilization to celebrate the precious solidarity in mankind. With the state-of-the-art technologies and the world’s largest permanent indoor LED screen inside of Asia’s first dynamic theater – MGM Theater, local and overseas audience in the premiere event marveled at the enthralling visual effects of such innovative creation.

We also hope to further stimulate art exchange between Japan, Macau and the rest of Asia.”
