EFM VR NOW Summit
Monday, 24 February, 1.20 - 6 pm
The way how stories are told changes constantly. A new technology, or the rise of a new medium also alters forms of storytelling and audience expectations. One of the greatest changes in storytelling comes with immersive media – Virtual Reality and 360 video. The EFM VR NOW Summit at the Berliner Freiheit demonstrates how film, television and immersive media are all coming together.
The previous edition highlighted the transformation of VR from challenged to established art form and audience-accepted medium. The 2020 EFM VR NOW Summit looks at Virtual Production and thus at VR’s potential for filmmaking and its capacities for more sustainable production. Additionally, the EFM VR NOW Summit aims to start a conversation about realistic expectations on VR’s disruptive power and sketching out its possible trajectories.
Get excited about how entertainment is advancing today, get inspired by fantastic stories and opinions of international VR figureheads, and connect with content creators, producers and IP owners from both worlds.
