BALLAVITA: An Adventure in Virtual Reality
"I want the audience to feel the action under their skin. I want them to feel like they are jumping, flying and dancing. Not just to observe but to feel. Physical action on the screen is a physical action for the audience.”

She will show examples of the scenes and how the VR medium shaped and influenced the story itself. Sebastian Endler, Cinematographer, will give insights into the production process.
