The XR Competition invites us to change our perspective, our body, and sometimes even our world. The audience navigates through universes where images are not merely viewed, but inhabited, shared, and felt. Immersion is not a simple technological gimmick here, but rather a new way of telling stories, experiencing emotions, and facing others as well as ourselves.<\/p>\n

This selection brings together works that explore VR (virtual reality), AR (augmented reality), and hybrid forms of storytelling that challenge the conventions of cinema and visual art. These intimate, interactive, and contemplative experiences blur the lines between spectator and protagonist, ultimately placing us at the center of the narrative. Whether traveling through a territory in crisis, stepping into another persona, or wandering through imaginary worlds, the five films in competition offer a unique sensorial journey.<\/p>\n

The XR Competition is also a laboratory where artists, developers, writers, and technicians come together to invent the storytelling forms of tomorrow. By experimenting with haptics and persistent virtual worlds, these creators prove that XR has become a demanding and fertile artistic field of its own. Their shared ambition is to open up spaces for play, reflection, and empathy that extend the experience well beyond the time spent wearing the headset.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re curious, a newcomer, or already passionate about XR, this competition is an invitation to surrender to the unknown, to accept losing your bearings in order to better discover new ones. There’s no right way to “watch” these works: you live them, you explore them, you experience them at your own pace and according to your own sensibilities. To enter the XR Competition is to accept losing some control and allowing yourself to be surprised\u2014and perhaps, for the duration of the experience, seeing the world differently.<\/p>\n

This 2026 XR competition consists of five films:<\/p>\n
