Composition
All I Know About Teacher Li
Countless paper planes filled with censored lockdown messages from China float towards you in this interactive VR film. Toss them back and feel what it’s like to start an online revolution, like Teacher Li did in 2022.
Ancestral Secret VR
A VR in which the user participates in filmed rituals of the Q’ero Nation in Peru, descendants of the Incas. Seeking harmony between humans and nature, the rituals in the Andes summon forces that appear as animations.
Impulse: Playing with Reality
Chaotic, reckless, dangerous—living with severe ADHD can be a constant battle. This interactive VR experience translates this into a personal experience as four candid narrators share their world, sometimes from the brink of the abyss.
Limbophobia
Join this wild and unsettling trip into a murky dystopia rocked by explosions and collapsing buildings, gliding through terrifying twilight zones as a physically intense VR experience or as a dome projection of devastating vistas.
RAPTURE II – Portal
Structured as a hypnosis session, this is a trip through an abandoned apartment in the Ukrainian region of Donbas. Vogue dancer Marko guides us through his home while he sees it for the first time since 2018, shortly before he fled the war.
Walking Alone, Text You When I’m Home
Feeling unsafe in public places is an all-too-familiar experience for most women. The young woman in this immersive, contemplative VR documentary addresses this theme through a variety of recognizable situations.
