Wunderland
Kurdwin Ayub • AT 2022 • 15min • VR360° • deOF • Tirolpremiere
This experience, written and directed by Kurdwin Ayub, premiered at Diagonale 2023. In the film, the director takes you back to childhood by showing everyday life through the eyes of a little girl. While you sit in a cave, you experience how mom (Maresi Riegner) and dad (Valentin Postlmayr) look after you. They are many things: artists, hipsters, millennials, but they are not happy.
Cast Maresi Riegner, Valentin Postlmayr, Katharina Farnleitner, Hannah und Clara Farnleitner • Production Claudia Joldes / Schauspielhaus Graz • Cinematography, Edit Markus Zizenbacher
All That Remains
Craig Quintero • TW 2022 • 11min • VR360° • enOF • Österreichpremiere
ALL THAT REMAINS is a meditation on the fluid boundary between dream and reality, fear and desire. It is an invitation to see and be seen.

Kursaal
Davide Rapp • IT 2022 • 13min • VR360° • enOF • Österreichpremiere

Laikka - The Lights Inside
MuVi • Laikka/Moritz Wunderwald & Alex Gruehn • AT 2022 • 4min • VR360° • no dialogue • Österreichpremiere
As a genre-fluid post-pop duo, Laikka playfully breaks the conventions of contemporary pop music. In this VR Music Video their music is evolving into a wild, experimental, and energetic sonic journey. The visuals challenge norms, merging thought-provoking imagery with boundary-pushing artistry.
Performance Carmen Schrenk, Moritz Wunderwald • Production Laikka / Moritz Wunderwald & Alex Gruehn
A Colony
Jean-Loup Pinard • CA 2023 • 6min • VR360° • enOF • Österreichpremiere
A COLONY is a post-apocalyptic fable who tells the tragic fate of an isolated village, where the destructive ambition of men clashed with nature, who acts in mysterious and unapologetic ways.
Production Jean-Loup Pinard
Murmurations II VR
Shahab Nedaei • AT 2023 • 8min • VR360° • no dialogue
When we observe murmurations pulse in waves and swirl into formations of shapes, it often appears as if there are areas where birds are slow and become densely packed together or where they accelerate and spread apart more widely.
Music Christoph Punzmann
The Absence
La Ausencia • Camilo Cogua • CO 2023 • 5min • VR360° • no dialogue
Each absence weighs and falls with particular grace, taking our time to the depths. A poetic, choreographic and sensorial bet to explore the weight in the void of memory-space.
By The Shore
なぎさにて • Hiroki Inoue • JP 2021 • 16min • VR360° • jpOF+enUT • Österreichpremiere
A couple visits the beach and drifts away in their tent. When they wake up, they see a dead whale lying on the shore. Amidst the unsettled atmosphere, the locals gather around. This disturbance turns their holiday into something unexpected.
Cast Yasuhiro Tanaka, Miori Oda, Yuki Masaga • Production Kenji Suzuki, Katsutoshi Machiba, Tetsuya Ohashi
Endless - VR Segue
Wojciech Pus • PL 2022 • 18min • VR360° • en-pl-uk OF • Österreichpremiere
A Polish Filmmaker Explores Trans Identity Through Abstraction, Identities in process. Puś’ work touches on the idea that the circulation of bodies as “seeds” is unavoidable. Though, the project refuses to characterize this as something that is singularly welcome or threatening but instead casts it as always already both. Are you coming?
Cast Lina Bembe, Jorge Benavides, Edmund Krempinski, Magdalena Wawrzynczak, Pierre Emö, Szymon Czacki • Production VN Lab
