A Stellar Week at the Venice Film Festival: Celebrating Success, Impact, and Human Connection
The recently concluded Venice Film Festival was not just a film extravaganza but an event that left an indelible mark on everyone involved. This year, we had the privilege of sharing the incredible impact of a film dedicated to the story of holocaust survivor Marion Deichmann, and the response was overwhelmingly positive.
Audience Captivated by 'Letters From Drancy'
The film "Letters From Drancy" emerged as a festival favourite, garnering not just critical acclaim but a deep emotional response from the audience. The moving narrative and exceptional storytelling struck a chord with everyone who had the opportunity to see it.
“For excellence in mixing showing and telling aspects of spatial storytelling, I was moved the most by this piece. Lots of interesting mixtures of styles and forms ground in 360 video, but adding in layers of projection mapping techniques, animation all to have a great balance between showing and telling this story that really sticks the landing in the end.”
