EMPEROR at Festival de Cannes
The MBB-funded, German-French co-produced EMPEROR has been invited to the Festival de Cannes. There, the XR experience will be shown out of competition in the IMMERSIVE SELECTION section. In Marion Burger’s and Ilan Cohen’s interactive, story-telling XR experience, users travel into the memory landscape of a man suffering from aphasia. The project has already been awarded with the Venice Immersive Achievement Award at the Venice Film Festival.
Helge Jürgens, CEO New Media Funding, MBB: "It’s fantastic news that, for the first time ever, Festival de Cannes will also host the category IMMERSIVE COMPETITION. Thus, Cannes, alongside Venice, is one of the most important festivals for XR in the whole of Europe. We are thrilled that EMPEROR, an MBB founded XR experience produced by Reynard Films, will be presented as part of the best XR Projects of recent years at the Croisette.”
With MOTEL DESTINO by Karim Aïnouz and Francis Ford Coppola's MEGALOPOLIS in the competition, and LES FANTÔMES by Jonathan Millet in the Semaine de la Critique, three films supported by MBB will have their world premieres in the official program of the Cannes Film Festival (May 14-25, 2024).
