The VR experience aims to establish a new biographical format based on archival material that is made accessible to a wide audience.

THE TRUE FILM goes to Brussels!

We are delighted that Christina Zimmermann's VR experience THE TRUE FILM has been nominated in six categories at this year's XR Awards.

The nominations recognize the creative achievement and technical implementation of the project in the field of extended reality (XR). The award ceremony will take place on December 9 in Brussels as part of UnitedXR Europe.

THE TRUE FILM brings the thoughts of philosopher Siegfried Kracauer to life. A historian digitizes his archive – but suddenly Kracauer and his wife Elisabeth come to life as avatars and begin to rewrite their own story. A journey through time to memory, identity, and the power of storytelling.

We congratulate the entire team and thank our co-production partner INVR.SPACE for this recognition!
