New Media Specialists Lectures
Israeli filmmakers experienced in creating narratives in VR and other new media share their insights with the general public in a series of talks. How do you tell an immersive story? What is the viewer’s role in an interactive experience? How do you cope with the challenges of producing a VR film? Which new technologies are available in this field?
