Is VR the end of the cinema as we know it?

With headset technology entering the consumer market with force, film watching is becoming an increasingly solo experience.

Move beyond the headset and hear how cinemas, festivals and VR makers can create collective experiences for audiences. Through case studies and a panel of experts from the world’s leading VR film festivals, learn how we can ensure VR doesn't mean audiences will be forever alone.
