Portland, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Copenhagen, Geneva, Hangzhou, Modena, Montreal, Moscow, Paris, and Taipei join Istanbul to form a creative network bringing this immersive content to the world while adapting to the difficulties of gathering together physically in times of global pandemic. “Venice VR Expanded” in a few words, Venice VR Expanded is the official Virtual Reality competition selection of the Venice International Film Festival. Virtual Reality (VR) as an art form encourages curiosity and supports the sharing of diversified experiences while virtual reality technologies help us discover the new possibilities of storytelling. As cinema manipulates the time, virtual reality manipulates the space, resulting in realistic or artistic 360°experiences that enhance the audience in both visual and auditory sceneries. Venice VR Expanded 2020 brings together a world premiere of the Virtual Reality projects of over 44 creators from 24 countries. The competition selection of the Venice International Film Festival was listed from the most creative and immersive works that were built with virtual reality technologies. From animation producers to independent directors, artists, game designers and storytellers; experts from different fields of the creative industries are gathering under the roof of virtual reality productions.
