  1. From the Main Square

    Encircling its central square, a new town emerges in all its diversity. A crossroad of stories, edifications, hopes, and conflicts altogether. Social ties and cultures take root. People nurture sympathy and care for their equals, but also animosity towards those who are different. It does not take long for an ‘us versus them’ atmosphere to take over. From the Main Square is an interactive VR experience that invites the viewer to witness the rise and fall of a divided society. A civilization blossoms, with all its contradictions, only to become a danger to itself.

  5. Kindred

    The remarkable true story of one aspirational parent’s groundbreaking journey through the adoption process in the United Kingdom. Kindred is an animated VR story, driven by first person narration by Syd—an aspirational parent who navigates the various stages of adoption, experiencing first-hand the highs and lows of a dream shared by so many. Syd is an outsider who has struggled for acceptance in mainstream British society. After deciding to become a parent, Syd navigates the adoption system. The bandwidth of acceptable children is wide; Syd is willing to adopt children from all walks of life. After numerous close calls and more than 150 rejections, one child comes to the fore, a gender questioning child called Ollie. After a “bump in” meeting engineered by the adoption agency, parent and child strike a meaningful connection. The wheels are put in motion. Eventually, Syd and Ollie’s relationship is solidified legally by the courts and the parent-child relationship is created—in one moment they are bonded and in the process redefine the meaning of the family in the United Kingdom forever.

  7. Shiineui Bang (Poet's room)

    This is the story of a man who loved literature and was a prolific poetic writer. The poet’s name was Yun Dong-ju, and he lived a tragic life which was cut far too short by an untimely death before Korea’s independence, without the chance to ever witness the moment he had wished for throughout his short life. This VR film was produced to present an understanding of the time, in which Yun Dong-ju lived, through his world of poems. His final moments may have been tragic, but the literary device of dreams can be used to vicariously fulfill his wishes and commemorate his sublime sacrifice. When the visitors open his handwritten manuscripts, his life story is narrated along with the poems. The train, headed for Gyeongseong, crossing the ocean signifies how Yun Dong-ju had left for Gyeongseong with aspirations to study literature, but could never return from the prisons of a foreign land across the sea. Each narrated fragment of memory is a remembrance of the past, and Yun’s dream harbored in a small room reflects a precarious and realistic future.

  9. Tmání (Darkening)

    How is the world perceived by someone with depression? The animated immersive film uses virtual reality to address depression and the ways to cope with it. Director and protagonist Ondřej guides us through diverse landscapes associating the story of his struggle with depression since puberty. We share his feelings during the first depressive episodes at a family trip in his childhood, at university when striving for perfect results, at work in his everyday fights with the depressive ‘darkening’. Through animation, combining a stylised form of Ondřej’s environment and abstract images of his emotions, the viewers will experience and understand what it is like to live with this illness, how to tackle it and what mechanisms are used by people with depression to feel better. Most of the interactions are voice controlled. The main character Ondřej finds out that his tool to get the depression under control is his voice. He uses humming, singing and even shouting as a calming and relieving technique.
