We’ve been steeping some of this year’s VIFF selections within our furling walls of immersion for the past month or so. Now, with just a week left to go, the MOR is happy to announce itself effectively fortified as the virtual venue for the VIFF Immersed and VIFF Volumetric Market program.
Here’s everything you need to know about VIFF Immersed in the MOR.
WHAT IS VIFF IMMERSED?
The Vancouver International Film Festival has put together the VIFF Immersed Exhibition, (which as a whole) is scheduled to run between September 24th and October 7th, 2020. The curation of “the world’s leading story-driven, export-ready works” features narratives spanning live-action, documentary format, and animated content.
Included in this exhibition are Finalists who competed in the International VIFF Immersed Competition. Furthermore, this will also be a showcase of XR content produced in the province of British Columbia - home to the 2nd largest XR ecosystem in the world. From live-action to animation, fiction to documentary, VIFF Immersed strives to seek out and honour the evolving finesse in XR storytelling.
VIFF IMMERSED VOLUMETRIC MARKET
Between September 28th and 29th, 2020 leaders from the convergence of art and tech will congregate to collectively discover “the next wave of great volumetric narrative content”. The list of speakers and registration information can be found here. This event is known to be a meeting point for Canada’s top creators and industry leaders to connect - with their compatriots from around the globe.
A selection of Volumetric Films will be exhibited in the Museum of Other Realities, in their native format during this part of the program.

NEW IN THE MUSEUM
‘A Moment in Cannes’ has been made available to experience in the MOR. Created by Azad Balabanian (@Azadux), the work is a photogrammetry experience of the town of Cannes, France. The chosen site in this artwork was captured using a Mavic 2 Pro processed with Reality Capture and the Realities.io Photogrammetry Pipeline.
Also in the museum is a spatial interview with Sabby's Lighf, which was recently added near her work, ‘Lignes des Fleurs’.
