The festival is showcasing virtual reality for the first time, including the first raft of Israeli Vr projects.
Jerusalem Film Festival this year hosts its first virtual reality (Vr) strand, showcasing projects from Israeli film-makers. Six films are on show in a dedicated space on the second floor of Jerusalem Cinematheque, until July 14.
Although technology is considered to be one of Israel’s most developed sectors — the country’s spend on technological and scientific research in relation to its Gdp is the second highest in the world — its film industry has yet to embrace Vr, despite the medium’s growing presence on the world cinema stage. At Cannes this year, Vr was the focus of the Marché du Film’s Next programme, while festivals including Sundance and Tribeca also placed heavy emphasis on Vr in 2016.
