A virtual reality expert will host an exclusive workshop discussing the evolving nature of non-fiction storytelling within the medium on the15th of July.

Organised by Bertha DocHouse the event will see Lead curator at Venice VR, Liz Rosenthal, discuss some of the greatest explorative techniques being used right now.

There are few art forms in the world right now that are going through as exciting a process of discovery and rapid innovation as virtual reality.

Whether it’s virtual reality, augmented reality or whole world-building, even the types of VR seem currently unfixed and open to experimentation. But when none of the rules are written, and the processes of filming, directing and editing are departing from traditional filmmaking in so many different ways, how should you approach non-fiction storytelling?

If you are unable to make that time, a recording of this event will be available to watch until 11:59 pm (BST) on Sunday 19 July.

Liz is an Executive Producer of immersive content accelerator programme, CreativeXR, led by Arts Council England and Digital Catapult. She is also the CEO & Founder of trail-blazing innovation company Power to the Pixel.

At Venice Film Festival she was instrumental in the launch of Venice VR in 2017, the first and only official immersive content selection and competition in an A-list festival. Venice VR has helped establish XR as a new artistic and entertainment form and has pushed the boundaries of exhibiting immersive works. In 2020 Venice was the first festival to create a globally accessible virtual world exhibition of 44 works within real-life satellite venues in 14 countries.

At Power to the Pixel, Liz created the first-ever international programmes for developing, financing and showcasing interactive and immersive works. Incubator, the Pixel Lab helped develop over 100 projects and Power to the Pixel: The Cross-Media Forum, run in association with the BFI London Film Festival over 10 years, brought together leading talent and financiers and created the first-ever project finance market for interactive projects and VR exhibition in London.

If you would like to be able to ask questions during the live event, please be sure to start at 7 pm (BST) on Thursday 15th July. This event will be accessible worldwide.
