Luxembourg City Film Festival - VR Pavilion 2024

Following the success of previous years, the Pavilion’s 6th VR Day will welcome international professionals and experts to discuss current trends and challenges in the XR industry. We will feature panels, presentations and  discussion rounds on current tendencies in the field, the medium’s potential to rewrite history through new perspectives, and Luxembourg’s commitments in this area with special presentations on upcoming VR projects.

The event will be a unique opportunity to learn about current developments in immersive art practices and technologies. It will also promote international exchanges and peer networking. A special panel will be dedicated to several creators behind the immersive experiences exhibited at the VR Pavilion.
