VR CINEMA HERE AND NOW lecture/discussion with Momchil Alexiev on virtual reality
Filmmaking and Virtual Reality? When cinema steps out of its domain and enters the territorries of VR, the relationship between these two separate terms sets forth a qualitatively new discussion.
Where do we draw the line between “guiding” and “orienting” the spectator? What do we mean by “immersiveness” and “development of cinematic ideas in space”? Where does this put the debate on spectatorship today? Join us in a lecture / discussion in which Momchil Alexiev brings together the practice and theory of filmmaking in VR and invites you to reframe the here and now of fiction storytelling.
