Art & Exhibitions VR Film & Embodied Discussion
Join an ongoing immersive story club examining VR as a medium for cinema. A curated selection of films that have premiered at Cannes, Venice, SXSW, Tribeca, and other international festivals will be shown in rotating sessions, with guided discussion prompts between viewings. The evening unfolds casually: you’ll take turns experiencing the VR content while others engage with reflection prompts, then reconvene for group discussion and open collaboration. Tea and cookies are available throughout. This is a space to ask fundamental questions about VR’s potential and limitations—both the tool’s possibilities and its pitfalls—and to learn from others’ perspectives across different communities. No prior VR experience needed.
