Dive into the future of storytelling at Venice Film Festival 2024

Mark your calendars from August 28 to September 7 for the Venice International Film Festival 2024, where the Venice Immersive XR – Extended Reality section promises to blow your mind!

The Venice Immersive XR program, launched in 2017, is back with a bang, featuring 360° videos, virtual and mixed reality, and XR works of any length. This pioneering section is one of the first A-list festival competitions dedicated to Extended Reality, thanks to support from VRChat.

This year, the Venice Immersive lineup showcases 63 groundbreaking projects from 25 countries, with 26 of them vying for top honors. Additionally, seven innovative projects from the Biennale College Cinema – Immersive will be featured.

Get ready for an intense competition as the Venice Immersive jury, led by president Celine Daemen, hands out three prestigious awards: the Venice Immersive Grand Prize, the Venice Immersive Special Jury Prize, and the Venice Immersive Achievement Prize. Daemen, known for her award-winning VR opera "Songs for a Passerby," is joined by Marion Burger, production designer and director of the award-winning VR experience "Emperor," and Adriaan Lokman, whose project "Flow" won the Special Immersive Jury prize in 2023.

But that's not all! The Venice Immersive Market will be buzzing with activity on the Venice Immersive Island, part of the Venice Production Bridge. It's the ultimate gathering spot for institutions, professionals, production companies, and funds linked to the immersive world. Expect immersive project presentations, panels, an Exhibition Area, and much more.
