With VR Film Screenings, we invite secondary school students to discover immersive cinema through a curated selection of artistic virtual reality films. The programme introduces students to new storytelling forms and digital artistic practices, while encouraging reflection on contemporary societal themes.
During the session, students watch a VR film from our catalogue, featuring artistic, educational, and locally produced works. The experience is guided by mediators and includes a short introduction about VR and the films, followed by discussions after each film to help students understand how film, art and technologies come together to create new socio-cultural experiences.
Students will have the opportunity to:
? discover immersive cinema and VR storytelling
? explore societal and educational themes through artistic works
? share reflections and discuss their experience with the group
? learn about XR technologies and immersive media
Dates: 06.10.26, 10.11.26, 11.03.27 and 02.04.27.
Package 1: Floating with the Spirits + Bodies of Water
This programme brings together two poetic VR experiences that explore the relationship between the body, nature, and the invisible forces that shape our lives. Floating with the Spirits immerses us in the rituals of Mexico’s Day of the Dead to discover how memory, spirituality, and community connect the living and the dead. Bodies of Water shifts the focus to physical presence, using dance and water to explore themes such as identity, vulnerability, and transformation. Together, these works offer a sensory journey that encourages the viewer to think about cultural traditions, the meaning of the body, and our connection to the natural world.
Package 2: The Great Escape + Travelling While Black
This programme combines a poetic fiction VR with a powerful documentary to explore questions about freedom, identity, and societal structures. The Great Escape embodies three plants attempting to break free from routine. Through their journey, we explore themes of autonomy, imagination, and the limits of individual agency. Traveling While Black reveals these ideas in reality through the historical and ongoing impact of racial segregation and discrimination in the United States. These two VR films create a dialogue between metaphors and lived experiences to reflect on what freedom means, how social conditions shape lives, and the importance of learning from the histories of inequality.
