I Saw the Future

François Vautier | France | 2017 | 6min | Experimental, Animation, VR | ov en/fr | Day program

An experimental deciphering in VR of Arthur C. Clarke's visionary speech on his vision of the future, built in an artificial field inspired by electrostatic displacement and sound waves. This film allows viewers to immerse themselves in a 3D space that echoes the futuristic predictions of a humanist scientist.

Odyssey 1.4.9

François Vautier | France | 2019 | 8min | Docu-fiction, VR | No dialogue | Day program

A total work imagined by Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke, 2001: Space Odyssey is the object of a particular cult. Here it becomes the vehicle of an immersive and interstellar journey to the heart of cinema, its photograms, its night and lights. Dizzying!

Recoding Entropia

François Vautier | France | 2021 | 8min | Fiction, VR | No dialogue | Day program

Last opus of the VR anthology of François Vautier on the human becoming, this story tells the wandering of an imposing geometry, in the heart of the nothingness, in the horizon of an infinite space and an unfathomable time. An immense tetrahedron that will soon break up to scatter and deliver a mysterious message through its change of form.

In the Mist

Chou Tung-yen | Taiwan | 2020 | 15min | Experimental, VR, Erotic | No dialogue | Night program

In a dimly lit room filled with mist, time seems to stand still as a group of men explore their sexuality. Between dream and awakening, the film plunges into an unexpected experience and takes a poetic look at desire.

Mutatis

Mali Arun | France | 2020 | 12min | Thriller, VR | No dialogue | Night program

Crime scene. Individuals in protective suits in a botanical garden are looking for inanimate, naked bodies. Luxuriance of the plants, coldness of the neon lights, paleness of the flesh. Then the ritual begins. This strange thriller composed of real shots opens up a space of real virtual cinema.

Saturnism

Mihai Grecu | France | 2020 | 4min | Fiction, VR | No dialogue | Night program

Painted directly on the walls of his home, Francisco Goya’s Saturn Devouring His Child refers to Greek mythology, when King Cronos devours each of his children to counter the prediction that he will be dethroned by one of his sons. Saturnism is a human-scale immersion into one of the darkest and most haunting paintings in art history, where the fear of losing power drives one to madness.
