France : Opportunities in the VR sector
With Ms. Katayoun Dibamehr (Producer, Floréal Films), Ms. Camille Lopato (Founder, Diversion Cinema), and M. Arnaud Miquel (Head of Meetings & XR@Annecy)
Moderated by Constance Richard, Trade Commissioner, Embassy of Canada in France
In five years, virtual reality has won its rank alongside feature film in most major festivals around the world. In France, Annecy has led the way and now features VR in both its official selection and in its industry program. As Canada and France share a long history of collaborating in animation, similar opportunities now grow in the VR sector. Our guest speakers will discuss these opportunities from different points of views: production, distribution, and curation.
