The June 6 screening is free and open to the public. RSVP on AltSpaceVR.
Cyber Shorts: A VR Film Festival is one of the first film festivals ever to be conceived of specifically for and hosted on a Virtual Reality platform. Festival Directors Darryl A. Armstrong and Shahab Zargari developed the idea to launch a film festival using Microsoft’s AltspaceVR platform after hosting a successful event on it for author Matt Ruff (Lovecraft Country, 88 Names).
The festival will be held on Saturday, June 6 from 11:30am-3:00pm Pacific time on the AltspaceVR platform and will include two hours of films along with a Q&A session with filmmakers.
NOTE: You do not need a VR headset to join the screening. All you would need is to download and boot up the AltSpace VR app on PC to access 2D mode.
