Year round we look for ways to bring our dynamic and acclaimed Virtual Reality programming to audiences outside of the Festival, said Loren Hammonds, Senior Programmer at the Tribeca Film Festival. There was a huge amount of excitement around these projects, all of which had their world premiere at Tribeca this year, so were excited to bring them to NEXT attendees.
J r me Paillard, Executive Director of the March du Film - Festival de Cannes, added: Were very happy of this collaboration with the Tribeca Film Festival. It offers to those projects a perfect complementarity of a huge public showcase in New York City and a high end B2B VR Screening for the film industry in Cannes.
About the Projects
02:09 - Sweden, China
Project Creator: Svante Fjaestad
In three minutes, the world will end. The rich have already left Earth for the New Colonies; those who couldnt afford private shuttles into orbit remain stranded, like the now-worthless banknotes on the streets. A couple wait together on a rooftop, contemplating their fate, while, in front of them, the last human refugees leave the planet before it is too late.
Cast: Chen Dong Hong, Xie Hong
The Caretaker - USA
Project Creator: Jacob Wasserman, Nicolas Pesce, Adam Donald
Key Collaborators: Hidden Content, RealMotion VFX
After their car breaks down on the side of the road on a cold winter night, a couple checks into a strange hotel while they wait for a mechanic to arrive. When the womans boyfriend suddenly goes missing-the latest in a series of unsettling occurrences within the hotel-she begins to suspect that something more sinister is at work.
Into the Now - USA
Project Creator: Michael Muller
Key Collaborators: Michael Smith, Morne Hardenberg
Director and legendary shark photographer Michael Mullers lifelong fear of sharks eventually led him to discover the tranquility and peace of mind that is possible underwater, engaged with these curious and intimidating creatures. This stunning documentary, a revolutionary, stereoscopic virtual-reality experience, explores marine life and ocean conservation via Mullers own internal journey.
Meeting a Monster - USA
Project Creator: Gabriela Arp
Key Collaborators: Oculus VR for Good, Life After Hate
Through audio recordings and re-enactments, former white supremacist Angela King relives the memories of, and motivations behind, the eight years she spent inside the white power movement-and the path she took to get out. While the monsters of Angelas past define the years she spent mired in hate, she finds redemption only after acknowledging the ultimate monster: herself.
Cast: Belle Emilie Gold, Jerry Edwards, Diana Mitchell, Skye Waller, Aidan Shields, Toia Johnson.
This is Climate Change: Feast - USA, Brazil, Greenland, Somalia
Project Creator: Danfung Dennis, Eric Strauss
Key Collaborators: Diana El-Osta (Producer), Catherine Yrisarri (Producer), Jeff Skoll (Executive Producer), Elise Pearlstein (Executive Producer), Kathy Davidov (Executive Producer), Casey Brown (Executive Producer)
Witness the beautiful expanse of Brazil's ecologically valuable rainforest, threatened by loggers as massive trees are cleared to make way for sprawling industrial cattle ranches. Can the Amazon survive the growing global demand for beef? Participant Media presents This Is Climate Change: Feast, directed by Danfung Dennis and Eric Strauss, in association with Condition One.
