Film festivals around the world are leaping into virtual reality, from incorporating demos into their official programming to recognizing emerging pioneers in interactive entertainment. Over the past two weeks, in the heart of Silicon Valley, the Cinequest Film & VR Festival has again been a hub for tech-savvy creators looking to get inspired — but this time including 47 VR workshops, forums, and experiences.

We love bringing the message of cinematic VR and interactive storytelling to festivals, particularly those who are bringing stories to life in new ways using brand-new mechanics. Here are the top five moments (in no particular order) of Unity at Cinequest 2017: Demonstrating how real-time rendering is changing filmmaking Mathieu Muller, our film specialist based in Paris, showed a series of short films made with Unity. He included “Adam” and spoke about fast iteration as one of the most powerful tools in your production pipeline.

Tony Parisi , moderating the “Future of VR” panel, also spoke about this in the context of short-form and long-form media.
