About

Cannes XR is a program from the Marché du Film dedicated to immersive technologies and cinematographic content. Curated in association with Artizen, the Cannes XR Development Showcase is an exciting opportunity of the leading virtual and augmented reality titles currently in-development to be pitched in front of the most emblematic industry leaders, co-producers, distributors and curators of the XR entertainment space. This year, Cannes XR Development Showcase jury will deliver the Cannes XR Storytelling Award for the best XR story. We believe at Cannes XR that the best XR story should avoid the fracture between devices and should question the spectator’s body to his/her inner feelings among different imaginary worlds.
