Animateka is thrilled to showcase another year of groundbreaking immersive works, celebrating the power of virtual and mixed reality to tell bold, narrative-driven stories. This year’s program invites audiences on journeys through shifting landscapes where time and nature behave in unexpected ways, into intimate spaces where the fragility of home is laid bare, and into worlds that blossom and awaken through interaction. From poetic reflections on our changing climate to the whimsical escape of restless houseplants, and a deeply moving exploration of loss, stigma, and the search for salvation, these works open portals into experiences only possible through the language of VR.
