Watching movies on VR headset was an experience like none other. Thanks to the organizers from Goethe Institute & IHC for hosting such a unique event for the viewers.
Immersive movies & 360 filmmaking is a rather new development taking place in the world of cinema. International events like the VRHAM Film Festival is exclusively being organized since 2018 for VR movies makers. All the biggies from the tech world are in on it with VR headsets catering to the growing demands. So the action is hotting up on the AR/ VR front.
Going back the movies, there were about ten of them on display. These were short ones of about 15 min each curated by U. Schauth. I got the opportunity to watch:
- Up in the Air - The Dream of Flying
- Tales of the March
- MLK: Now is the Time
- El Beat
Each movie was remarkable. Distinct stories, providing an immersive experience to our connected pasts. Highly recommend the experience to all.
