With thanks to the immense generosity of Major Supporter Ling Ang, MIFF presents a reimagined XR program on a world-class online platform available globally for free. Enter the mind of the world’s greatest con man in the AR piece Fortune! by Brett Gaylor, Nicolas Bourniquel and Arnaud Colinart. Charlotte Rampling guides you through underwater caves filled with bioluminescent creatures in Abel Kohen’s Biolum. A young boy uncovers family secrets in an intricate, Tim Burton–esque world built by German Heller and Federico Carlini. Witness a Samoan rite of passage in Iopu Auva‘a and Aaron Wilson’s IOPU. And Jumoke Sanwo immerses you in Lagos’ bustling streets and idyllic beaches.
Tried a bit too hard. Great idea but difficult to navigate around and far too easy to accidentally leave the film. And not sure how many people want the interactive element. Maybe have the films in a simple menu without the foyer/interactive element as an option?
