I know: why isn’t this just the first indigenous person? Are there already films by indigenous people in VR? There aren’t a ton of places outside of North America with indigenous peoples, legally (South America, Oceania, and then the Sami way up in Europe afaik, at least who’s acknowledged as indigenous; do the Japanese acknowledge the Ainu yet?)
Plus how are we defining VR Movie? Literally just a 360 degree view? That’s…not a good way to make a movie. Is it interactive? Is it still a movie then? If they do let you look around freely, then how will they make sure you don’t miss important things?
EDIT: The other thing I caught: I’m not really so sure about the whole ‘film not even made yet selected to be screened at prestigious festival.’ Hopefully it’s actually worth being there. More importantly: how the hell do you ‘screen’ a VR film?
