MUTATIS <\/strong>
Mali Arun \/ France \/ 2020 \/ 12 min \/ Thriller, VR \/ No dialogue<\/h4>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

Crime scene. Individuals in protective suits in a botanical garden are looking for inanimate, naked bodies. Luxuriance of the plants, coldness of the neon lights, paleness of the flesh. Then the ritual begins. This strange thriller composed of real shots opens up a space of real virtual cinema.<\/p>\n\"GIFF\"\n

SATURNISM<\/strong>
Mihai Grecu \/ France \/ 2020 \/ 4 min \/ Fiction, VR \/ No dialogue<\/h4>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

Painted directly on the walls of his house, Saturn Devouring His Son<\/em> by Francisco Goya refers to Greek mythology, when King Cronos devoured each of his children to counter the prediction that he would be overthrown by one of his sons. Saturnism<\/em> is an immersion on a human scale in one of the darkest and most haunting paintings in the history of art, where the fear of losing power drives one to madness. <\/p>\n\"GIFF\"\n
