The prestigious Cannes Film Festival, which begins this week, has added extended reality, XR , as an official category and competition. Cannes was an early supporter of VR, and featured Aljandro Innaratu’sVR experience in 2017, where it won a special award. Cannes now joins the Venice and Tribeca film festivals and SXSW, which have included XR experiences since 2016.
The in-competition works can host 3-25 guests per experience with a collective exhibition throughput of approximately 542 people per day.

The Cannes Film Festival will run from May 14 to May 25 2024.
“If the objective is to make a point that immersive art is distinct from the art form of cinema, then we need to be consistent in our messaging. It’s important to avoid immersive works appearing as a genre or an extension of cinema at the Awards Ceremony for cinematic works. We would also like to take another bet by organizing a dedicated event where the medium is celebrated and immersive artists are the real stars of the ceremony,” says Immersive Competition Project Director Elie Levasseur.
