Echoes From Inside
An immersive installation where audiences enter a shifting body of fabrics and projections, becoming part of a fragmented landscape shaped by lived experiences of gender transitioning.
Leniko Sennoma / Leniko Sennoma / Germany
Jayalakshmi – One Body, Many Worlds
A living Bharatanatyam master, who has spent fifty years becoming gods, rivers and demons on stage, lets us enter her own mind instead — a surreal interactive documentary of one woman who contains many game worlds.
Avinash Kumar, Jayalakshmi Eshwar & Sri Rama Murthy Mallishetty / Avinash Kumar / India
Once Upon A Time There Were Forests
An immersive XR experience about the insistence on hope – a reminder that even in a time that can feel hopeless, what we do still matters. And that we can paint the light, the music and the life back into our world.
Vibeke Bryld / Maria Kristensen / Denmark
Primordial Portal
A live broadcasting portal into the rituals of a Philippine shaman and the dream worlds that guide him. Rooted in indigenous philosophy in Bukidnon, this portal becomes a communion with spirits, dreams, and reality.
Inshallah Montero, Datu Arayan Lantong & Otto Hernandez / Ryan Barton / Philippines & United States
Room of incidents
Everyday life in extraordinary times unfolds through a series of incidents about what remains when a place no longer exists, what we choose to preserve in crucial moments, and how people stay visible after loss.
Kateryna Krokha / Ukraine
The Flamboyants
Through the memories and the eyes of a trans woman before her transition, you will live a night of gay chemsex, locked up with 4 other characters in a house with closed shutters.
The river where you set your foot just now is gone
An immersive documentary installation where water becomes archive, myth and witness, transforming flood-stricken Thessaly, Greece, into a speculative landscape of folklore, memory, ecological grief as well as collective trauma and identity.
Alexandra Niaka & Fanis Sakellariou / Greece
This Pleasant Lady
Part memoir, part detective story, This Pleasant Lady invites audiences inside a reimagined MRI scanner to travel through Victoria Mapplebeck’s body as a living archive of motherhood, cancer, desire, survival and the quiet cost of being “pleasant.”
Victoria Mapplebeck, Sandra Gaudenzi & Jamie Perera / Michelle Feuerlicht / United Kingdom & Italy
Weathering Forms
In Svalbard, a group of musicians and glaciologists travel across glaciers to record their sounds. Back in town, they realize the glaciers have altered the way they listen to their world.
