A Long Goodbye

A Long Goodbye

  • Kate Voet / Victor Maes
  • Belgium / Luxembourg / The Netherlands, 2025
  • 30 min.

“Who am I? Where am I?” – that’s how you start every VR experience. In this gentle interactive story you are Ida, a pianist living with dementia, who’s increasingly asking herself those same questions. As Post-it notes and voice recordings by her partner Daniel rekindle memories, her world slowly reappears. Achievement Prize, Venice Immersive.

The Great Escape

The Great Escape

  • Joren Vandenbroucke
  • Belgium / Luxembourg, 2025
  • 25 min.

With petals on the edge of your vision, you’re one of three extremely bored geraniums on the windowsill of Patrick – a lonely wallflower who doesn’t going out much. A funny, original adventure featuring characters as flat as paper, a smartphone, a plant-swapping website and an eventful tram ride.

We Are Dead Animals

We Are Dead Animals

  • Tote Tiere Maarten
  • Germany / The Netherlands, 2025
  • 20 min.

It doesn’t get much more Kaboom than this. Revive dead animals (from run-over hedgehogs to deceased spiders) in this VR creator’s vision of Paradise – and he should know, or his name isn’t Tote Tiere Maarten. Alternatively, you can eat, study or recombine these carcasses into strange new creatures.
