VR-Filmprogramm

MuVi: Pulverin – Blad Dracula

Magdalena Salner • AT 2023 • 5min • VR360 • MuVi • Weltpremiere

The music video for BLAD DRACULA takes viewers on an spellbinding and absurd journey. The run-down Villa Shapira serves as the backdrop for the gloomy scenario. The vibrant visuals feature experimental and trippy effects, creating an peculiar aesthetic. A haunting voice in a foreign language seems to summon the spirit of Dracula itself. The chanting and the visuals enhance the tense atmosphere and rip open the surroundings to a parallel realm.

Cinematography, Editor Magdalena Salner Music, Cast Pulverin; Ottó Horváth (voice, trumpet, trombone), Daniel Schatz (mixette)

Exploring a male sauna through poetic lenses to take a peek into something that’s hidden under the desire—the love without love.

Strands of Mind

Black Bag

Qing Shao • CH 2019 • 12' • VR360 • no dialogue

Ex-military security guard, Mr.S works for a bank and leads the life of a normal working-class man. He fantasises about a major heist, a dream that becomes reality when a mysterious black leather bag is deposited into the bank vault by a VIP. Mr.S successfully robs the black leather bag through the help of his veteran friends, whom he murders in order to keep it for himself. As he enters the tunnel, the real world starts to peel away from him. Mr.S steps out of a strange elevator and arrives at hell, where all his past sins are playing on television screens. Is this the fantasy of a moral man, or is the heist real? (Filmfestival Venedig)

Passenger

Isobel Knowles, Van Sowerwine • AU 2019 • 10' • VR360 • enOV

You are sitting in the back of a taxi, driving in the dark. As the landscape begins to change, the outside environment becomes increasingly surreal. You piece together your story—abstracted and dream-like— as you progress into the quiet shock of a new world. This 360 degree stop-motion VR tells the story of arriving in a new country to live. Your taxi driver, himself a migrant to Australia, navigates the new terrain with you, acting as your guide while also revealing parts of his own story. Passenger recreates and investigates the geographic and visual dislocation of arriving somewhere unfamiliar and beginning the journey of finding a new home in a foreign land. (Filmfestival Venedig)

DJulie Cavaliere • US 2022 • 15min • VR360 • enOF • Österreichpremiere
