  • SEVEN GRAMS, OFFICIAL SELECTION AT THE GENEVA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (GIFF)

    Lucid Realities is honored to announce that the project Seven Grams has been selected for the 27th edition of Geneva International Film Festival (GIFF) that will take place from the 5th til the 14th of november 2021. 

    Presented for the first time in Switzerland, Seven Grams has been selected among the non-competitive section of the future is sensible, a space dedicated to different social, ecological and technological issues, combined to movies and XR works that question ethical choices and their impact on the future. 

    Seven Grams is an augmented reality project directed by Karim Ben Khelifa and co-produced by Lucid Realities, France Télévisions, POV-Spark and Think Film, with the support of CNC and Occitanie region. 

    The project deals with the controversial production of electronic personal devices and how it has an enormous impact on the environment and on the inhabitants of the Democratic Republic of Congo, who are abused and exploited by this questionable economical business during the process of mineral extraction. This moral issue is also exposed as an animated short movie illustrated by TT Hernandez, which highlights even further through inspiring drawings this questionable reality.  

  • THE STARRY SAND BEACH in competition at the 78th Venice International Film Festival

    We are extremely excited and honored to announce that The Starry Sand Beach, by Nina Barbier & Hsin-Chien Huang, is selected in Competition at Venice VR Expanded. The project is produced by Lucid realities and the Natural History Museum.

    The Starry Sand Beach is a VR scientific fairy tale about the starry grains of sand found on multiple beaches across the East China Sea, and the legend that surrounds them. The experience is divided into three parts: the legend, the underwater forest and the exploration of the Earth’s ancient geological memory. All throughout the experience and along with the foraminifera, you witness signs of the many threats to the marine and coral microorganisms, embodied by a sea serpent symbolizing the acidification of the oceans. 

    For the 78th Venice International Film Festival, Venice VR Expanded will occur online, between the 1st and 19th September, 2021, with a part on site for accredited festival guests at the Palazzo del Casino in Venezia during the duration of the festival.

    This year, the president is the director Michelle Kranot, winner of the Grand Jury Prize 2020 for Best VR Immersive Work for The Hangman at home, an outstanding experience distributed by Lucid Realities. You will find VR accreditations on the website of the Biennale here.
