A VIRTUAL REALITY EXHIBITION
This VR exhibition at the Cinematheque will feature four experiences by Israeli and Canadian directors that were created as part of a co-production project called “New Identities” – following Docaviv Festival’s mission to serve as a showcase for Israeli cinematic works that make use of new media.
The New Identities project is an Israeli-Canadian VR co-production with a focus on social themes. The project is supported by Gesher Multicultural Film Fund, Makor Foundation for Israeli Films and The Israel Film Council, the Canada Media Fund, and The National Film Board of Canada.
