ΑGORA XR Lab: March 8-13

AGORA XR Lab is TiDF AGORA’s new initiative, in collaboration with the Immersive – All Around Cinema section, a closed workshop dedicated to XR and new media projects in development. It is designed for emerging storytellers keen to explore new forms of expression in factual and non-factual storytelling, and to push the boundaries of what audiovisual work can be in the digital age. Various multidisciplinary artists from different career paths and artistic backgrounds submitted their projects for this opportunity. Five XR projects that bridge the realms of film, digital media, new tech, and gaming were selected to participate in this inaugural edition. AGORA XR Lab fosters innovation and collaboration by supporting creative, interdisciplinary partnerships in film, the arts, science, technology, and social impact initiatives.
