It is not about hanging people, but about the awkward intimacy that comes with being human, and the connection between spectator, witness, and accomplice. The animated, interactive experience invites you into five interwoven stories, capturing pivotal moments in people’s lives. The Hangman at Home – VR ultimately reveals that we are all more alike than different, while raising questions of responsibility.The experience begins with a call to action, as the user is asked to light a match to ignite the narrative. This non-linear, layered story is both interactive and observational. Users are given the choice to cross different thresholds, such as a door, a window, or a fireplace; each is a portal to a room where one of the five animated scenes unfolds. Eventually they have the opportunity to interact with objects that are extracted from these stories, to engage and create a soundscape. Finally, they are invited to take part in the poetic climax of this thoughtful, often playful, journey.The Hangman at Home – VR is a co-production between Late Love Production (Denmark), Miyu Productions (France), Floréal Films (France) and the National Film Board of Canada.Duration: 30 min Grand Jury Prize for Best VR Immersive WorkVenice International Film Festival, Venice, Italy (2020)•	Official Selection – VR Competition Ottawa International Animation Festival (2020)•	Official Selection - Geneva International Film Festival (2020)•	Official Competition - Festival du nouveau cinéma de Montréal (2020)•	Official Selection - International Film Festival Rotterdam - Art Direction (2021)•	Official Selection Annecy Festival - VR Works (2021)Deep Dive (2020)(by Milosz Hermanowicz)A wandering of two around a trauma to be faced.Deep Dive (2020) is an intimate narrative experience for Virtual Reality which is set on the wild bank of a river where Magda, a young woman, is wandering around anxiously. An unexpected phone call from her little daughter seeking help gives her a goal. Magda now desperately wants to be reunited with her child. But the river is impossible to cross. In a moment of helplessness, an unlikely encounter takes place. Magda’s mother comes to her. Magda regains hope and leads their journey through the uncanny thickets and gloomy trees in a search of a way through the river. The mother, enigmatically, keeps observing Magda without helping her. The only way back lies in their past and leads Magda to a confrontation with her deepest fears and regrets.Duration: 17 min•	VR Competition: Courant 3D, 2020•	The International 3D-stereo Film Festival in Moscow, 2020•	Official Selection – goEast Festival, 2021•	Official Selection - S&amp;I Media, 2021Nightsss – a sensual VR experience of poetry, dance and nature (2021)(by Weronika Lewandowska &amp; Sandra Frydrysiak)*The lack of subtitles is a conscious artistic choice affecting the perception of Nightsss.VR piece Nightsss is a virtual erotic poem. A few minutes of artistic animation with ASMR and interactive elements immerses the viewer in the sensual experience of poetry and dance. Nightsss&#x27;s script was based on a piece of the spoken word poet Weronika Lewandowska. The artist uses sounds characteristic of the Polish language, creating onomatopoeic landscapes that cross language barriers. The spatially composed poet’s voice takes the immersant to a virtual night environment in which one meets a dancing character. The dancer&#x27;s organic movements blend with her virtual body.The character is once a poem and loses its materiality, and in a moment splits into other forms. Other times – it condenses so that hundreds of drops can illuminate the flora and bring out the color from the night scenery. Still another time – it takes on a human form that &quot;passes&quot; through the body of the immersant, and then disintegrates into particles of fluidized substance with unreal behavior. The night pulsates with a rhythmic space of sounds and movements, it is looped in words. Immersant sees his/her hands in the created world which serves as an anchor, allowing for small interactions.Nightsss explores the possibilities of VR storytelling and dance in the context of the changing perception of technologically created spatial experiences and the development of the kinetic empathy of the immersant in the embodied experience of virtual space. The animation was made in 6 DOF on Oculus Rift S as part of vnLab projects at the Film School in Łódź.The project was financed under the Ministry of Science and Higher Education programme within the framework of the “Regional Initiative of Excellence” for the years 2019-2022, project number 023/RID/2018/19, funding sum PLN 11 865 100.Duration: 7 min•	Official Selection – Sundance, New Frontier, 2021•	goEast Film Festival, 2021•	Melbourne International Film Festival, 2021•	Bucharest Dance International Film Festival, 2021•	VR Pavilion at Resilienze Festival in Bologna, 2021 •	Cinequest Film Festival (Best VR Sound Design), 2021Symphony of Noise (2019)(by Michaela Pnacekova and Jamie Balliu)Put on a headset and embark on an immersive journey through an enticing surreal world. Listen differently to your body, your everyday life, the world, and find the music within. This is a story through sound.Immerse yourself in the world of exploration of sonic and magical landscapes in high-end spatial sound design where you can hear, see and feel sound in a way not possible before VR technology.Create and discover the soundscapes of your life - step by step - from the first heartbeat to the chaotic sound of everything around you and gain the power to create your soundtrack of the world. Listen intently. Can you already hear the world becoming music in your ears?The experience is inspired by Matthew Herbert&#x27;s book ‘The Music’ in which the artist and musician creates soundscapes by association in the mind of the reader. In the VR piece, Herbert&#x27;s poetry becomes the introduction to a new world of sounds. Going through four sonically and visually surreal landscapes, the user interacts and creates sounds through their body via breathing, voice and movement, while discovering the world around one-self and within one-self and creating their own symphony of noise in the final part of the experience. Our bodies become part of the score while creating and entering magical worlds. We learn to listen to the world differently. All sound is music. The project premiered at Reeperbahn Music Festival and IDFA Doc Lab Competition for Immersive Non-Fiction 2019 and is listed among the best XR installations of 2019 according to Forbes Magazine.Duration: 15 min•	VR NOW Awards Online, 2021 - Nomination for Best VR Entertainment•	L.E.V.

To take this knowledge a step further, they tried an even bigger experiment: Coming together remotely to put on a play live and with co-presence, but entirely virtual and only connected through the headsets. A social-VR space designed for theatre, if you will. Duration: several short films Ilios (2020)(by Mika Johnson &amp; Marcel Karnapke)ILIOS evolved as a correspondence between artists Karnapke and Johnson during the COVID-19 shut down. The two had collaborated in February, 2020, in Germany, on a digital project that was shut down when Johnson got stuck in North America for the remainder of the spring. The two artists continued to correspond, discussing the meaning of this event in their personal lives. ILIOS is a meditation on the state of flux we are all living in today: a state where patterns emerge only to undergo change in such sudden succession that reality and normality can only be assumed in short bursts.

While wandering around the exhibited living plants in the space, different layers of information can be accessed in mixed reality, by the help of generative animations and spatial visualizations. The surrounding lights, sounds and the digital interface reveal hidden connections between the plants and our everyday environment.Venue: Moholy-Nagy Művészeti Egyetem - Innovation Center1121 Budapest, Zugligeti út 9-25, UP 301-302Event supported by the Danish Embassy of Hungary, International Visegrad Fund, VnLab - Lodz Film School (PL), Association for Research in Interactive Digital Narratives (ARDIN) and Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Budapest - Innovation Center.(Picture credits: Nightsss)Partners: PLACCC Fesztivál, INDCOR Cost Action, Total Immersion Foundation (PL), ArtOptimist (UA), Causa Creation (AT), Sensorium Festival (SK), Institute of Documentary Film (CZ), Code&amp;Soda
