VRE - VIRTUAL REALITY EXPERIENCE
The 2020 VRE edition conforms itself to the international situation and it revolutionizes its format by giving life to a hybrid edition which introduces the digital and maintains some physical locations with the belief that only by experiencing the feeling live you are truly able to feel it to the fullest.
The festival created by Mariangela Matarozzo and produced by the Cultural Association Iconialab is originally conceived as a festival entirely dedicated to immersive technologies and their impact on our near future.
The programme includes immersive productions which express to the fullest the power of the art of narration in each and every one of its forms. There is the Cinema with the Official Selection of VR productions from all over the world, Culture: some of the most influential voices will liven up Talks and Masterclasses, moments of in-depth analysis dedicated to the different declinations of XR, Art Performances for a new multimedia expression and expansion.
A perfect mix of entertainment and culture, a place for innovation and experimentation, capable of completely involving the viewers.
VRE 20 - EXTENDED EDITION
The second edition of VRE will take place during a year characterized by bonds and limitations which are reflected in the organization of the festival. Nonetheless VRE wanted to realize in traditional locations the sections with a greater emotional and sensorial engagement. Next to the digital VRE will be present at the Maxxi with the VR Experiences (6DoF), at Villa Maraini (in collaborazione con Istituto Svizzero Roma) per alcune tra le più innovative Art Performing, nell’ Aula Magna Unitelma Sapienza with some Talks and Masterclasses.
The festival will have a hybrid format: next to the physical locations there will be the digital part, in fact, the competition of VR Videos will be available on the Veer VR Platform, some talks and masterclasses will be in streaming on the festival’s and the partner’s social channels.
VRE will be among the Risonanze della Festa del Cinema 2020: “in doing so, we will have the chance to broad the horizon of our event towards the advanced frontiers of vision involving the public in new and unexpected experiences amongst experimentation, interaction and immersion”, said Laura delli Colli - President of the Cinema Foundation for Rome..
