Film Festivals and VR: Sundance Institute and the Future of Interactive Media

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

Sundance Institute’s New Frontier outlines 11 years of concrete experiments: hosting the Oculus Rift prototype 2012 and moving VR from demos to curated work, staking 2015 as the medium’s breakout year and programming 34 pieces in 2016. Examples include Kinect-to-DK2 ports, Cloudscapes, Dear Angelica, Tree and Zero Days, and hybrids like the Johnny Cash project; the program runs a lab and residency support pipeline, funds technical solutions (multi-user screenings, volumetric capture, photogrammetry) and measures impact by audience response and distribution deals.
