We are thrilled to announce that the VR piece Hush, directed by Vibeke Bryld, has been selected for this year’s VR competition at the Venice Film Festival.
This year the VR section will be entirely online, meaning that industry professionals and accredited guests can access the VR selection from home, via an innovative digital platform supported by HTC VIVEPORT, Facebook’s Oculus, VRChat and VRrOOm - instead of the physical installations for the world class exhibition the festival usually hosts on an island in Venice during the festival.
The Venice VR Expanded platform will also be accessible in different locations around the world, thanks to the availability of different institutions which have joined the Satellite venues network program. The list of Satellite locations will be announced shortly.
Hush is joined by two other Danish projects in the official competition section: The Hangman at Home by Uri & Michelle Kranot (Late Love Productions) and Smagen af Sult/The Taste of Hunger by Christoffer Boe & David Adler (Makropol).
The piece is produced by Maria Kristensen for Final Cut for Real in collaboration with CG supervisor and animator Lars Hemmingsen Nørgaard and Midtjysk 3D Service. It is supported by The Danish Film Institute, the West Danish Film Fund, The Danish Arts Council, Danish Film Directors, FAF and the North Denmark Region.
