The presentation was focused on the latest work by Clyde Henry Productions - Gymnasia

Step into the stillness of an abandoned school and enter GYMNASIA, a place where the ghostly ephemera of a lost childhood await you. Recall the particular sights and sounds of a child’s world through the echoes of ball games, school lessons and choir recitals. GYMNASIA reanimates the memories of those forgotten days.

This groundbreaking, cinematic VR experience is the first collaboration between the National Film Board of Canada, Felix & Paul Studios and Clyde Henry Productions. The project flawlessly blends 3D 360-degree video, stop-motion, miniatures and CGI, and pushes the art of puppet animation into uncharted territory. GYMNASIA is a dark dream – unsettling and weirdly wonderful. It’s the first VR experience to induce the elusive anxiety that occurs when the lines between what’s real and unreal are blurred beyond belief.

Part of MEMORY / VR: MATERIAL MEMORIES, DIGITAL TRACES panel:
VR offers a much more personal experience than a regular collective film or theatre show. Each viewer sees their own story. How can the medium’s intimate potential be translated to represent individual memories? Can a VR experience go beyond subjectivity? How can VR be applied to do justice to a collective experience? As its name implies, virtual reality also transports the viewer into another, non-material world. How do VR creators cope with our yearning for lost materiality? How are they attempting to incorporate physicality into their projects? Some of the works presented in this session will be included in the VR Showcase to accompany the conference, which will be running at TR Warszawa theatre from September 26–28, 2019.
