Virtual Reality Movies Add Dimension to Tribeca Festival. (The New York Times, 4/18/2016)
The arcade is where the festival is showcasing virtual-reality films, the still nascent art form made more accessible by a new generation of viewing devices that turn a movie into a 360-degree experience rather than something watched on a rectangular screen. Eighteen projects are gathered in a space at the festival hub downtown, and the sheer diversity is impressive. Especially if you’ve never watched a film in this format, it’s rather mind-blowing. But you may need a neck massage afterward from looking up, down and all around.Much different headline from the print edition: With a Helmet, Who Needs Popcorn?>
The crowd-pleasers:
- Allumette (Penrose Studios)
- Invasion! (Baobob Studios)
