Cocoon @ SITGES – International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia 2019

Once again last year, the very best immersive XR content were found in the VR Cinema at the Centre Cultural Miramar in Sitges. A total of 20 international pieces made up 2019’s official in-competition selection that, thanks to Samsung technology, HTC-Vive and Oculus, transported audiences to a surprising world of virtual reality experiences where horror, science fiction, fantasy, animation and experimental film became, for a little while, their only travelling companion. After collecting their ticket and reserving a time slot, Sitges Cocoon’s viewers had 60 minutes to choose one or several of the in-competition pieces.
