Cannes Film Festival announces a new competition dedicated to immersive works:
“The competition aims to spotlight the next generation of international artists who are redefining storytelling and inventing new narrative-driven experiences that move beyond the traditional two-dimensional cinema screen.”
“With the support of the CNC (National Center for Cinema and the moving image), the competition will feature immersive, collective and interactive works that utilize virtual reality, augmented reality and other cutting-edge technologies to transcend conventional storytelling and transport audiences to other worlds, narratives and eras.”
The selected works will be accessible to Festival de Cannes and Marché du Film attendees throughout the festival, from May 15 to 24. The works will be displayed in a 1300m2 exhibition space at the Cannes Cineum.
