Geneva International Film Festival carries on with its PLUGS program<\/a> with a stopover at the Locarno Film Festival<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a special program featuring eight virtual reality works on the topic Gender Bender<\/em> (as a tribute to John Waters), GIFF is delighted to present two bold, sensory projects to festivalgoers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VIENS !<\/em><\/strong>, a work that addresses topics of intimacy and sexuality, elaborates upon gender and sexual orientation, away from norms. Michel Reilhac conducts this sensual choreographed piece, offering a wonderful contribution to immersive art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gender Swap<\/em><\/strong>, presented by International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR)<\/a> in collaboration with GIFF, invites you to literally become someone else, thanks to one of the most significant and dizzying VR projects of recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n

VIENS !<\/h3>\n\n

Michel Reilhac, 12 min, 2016, France<\/p>\n\n

Three women and four men, all naked, appear out of nowhere in the white, sunny space of a bright room outside of time. They meet, touch, share their energy, and are transformed spiritually; they let themselves become one with the world.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

With this \u201cmachine to become someone else\u201d, each pair of participants find themselves in the other\u2019s body. Women become men and men become women in a dizzying, disruptive work.<\/p>\n\n
