A chaotic and claustrophobic space odyssey unfolds in this VR blockbuster, directed by Doug Liman, who is renowned for his action-packed Hollywood films. When a gold-laden asteroid passes within close distance of Earth, a hastily assembled crew is sent into space to recover the gigantic treasure. But the mission escalates, and only one astronaut returns safely. In this fast-paced VR experience, gold shines brighter than the stars; the gaze into space is defined by greed rather than desire for discovery. Actors such as Ron Perlman (Hellboy) and NFL star D. K. Metcalf round off this extraordinary VR production.

A slow-paced stream of consciousness about observation, possibility, and reality. Captivating pictures create a visual landscape in which places seem to tremble and flicker as if reality itself were in motion. Inspired by the mysteries of quantum mechanics, director Anne Jeppesen contemplates whether reality only comes to be in the moment of looking. A dense soundscape of thoughts, fragments of dialogue and music connects the layers to create a sensory atmosphere in which perception, memory and imagination overlap eachother.

GERMAN PREMIERE

Earths to Come is an experimental VR film that marries pencil-drawn landscapes and multi-layered vocal soundscapes, resulting in a delicate, moving world that seems both intimate and infinite. The starting point is an eight-line poem by Emily Dickinson. Inti Figgis-Vizueta's original composition is unfolded by the voices of the vocal ensemble Roomful of Teeth. Sound designer Massimiliano Borghesi, together with Studio PASE, developed a spacial mix of the voices moving within the VR space; thus, drawing and sound fuse into a poetic immersive experience.

The Odakyu Romance Car line has connected the Japanese capital Tokyo with popular holiday destinations like Hakone since the 1960s. With its large panoramic windows, the train has achieved cult status among train enthusiasts in Japan and beyond. Jonathan Haggard created a poetic tribute for this place of yearning; in hand-drawn 360° panoramas, he traces the changes of the landscapes, the train and the people who ride it over several decades.

This film invites its audience to sit back and immerse itself into the scenes passing by; a detail-oriented and stilistically outstanding VR experience.
