> Details
The film carries the viewer into an unknown basement filled with endless number of memories from other worlds, future pasts and dreams. These realities are synthetic and virtual while being tactile, tangible and physical at the same time, creating a dynamic interplay between the real and unreal.
Eslami used Virtual Reality as a film stage, resulting in a fusion of cinematic and gaming language that explores a new form in moving image experience.
Most of the scenes in the film is recorded from VR using unreal engine.
