New Media Specialists Lectures


Israeli filmmakers experienced in creating narratives in VR and other new media share their insights with the general public in a series of talks. How do you tell an immersive story? What is the viewer’s role in an interactive experience? How do you cope with the challenges of producing a VR film? Which new technologies are available in this field?
The event is an initiative of Makor Foundation for Israeli Film and Docaviv Festival. At the start of the event, a representative of Makor Foundation will showcase the foundation’s efforts to develop the XR field in Israel, and unveil a new upcoming call for artists.
