Social Impact VR Awards nomination for 'Some Inattention On The Left'
We are delighted to share that our multi-sensory VR documentary Some Inattention On The Left has been announced as a finalist at the fourth international VR Awards in the VR Social Impact category. It is East City Films 3rd nomination in a row after Malaria: Life On The Frontline (2020) and Common Ground (2019).
Some Inattention On The Left is a moving multi-sensory VR documentary which delves deep into the plight of Elizabeth Printer, who suffered a stroke and a brain haemorrhage at the age of just 46. As the viewer sits, wheelchair bound on a beach feeling a gentle breeze on their face, Elizabeth recounts the fateful day of her stroke and the subsequent neglect by her family and the NHS. Hearing about her attempt to commit suicide the beach turns into a nightmare and the experience darkens. But is there light at the end of the tunnel?
The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy currently heads up a large collective of 20 charities including Sue Ryder, the Royal College of Occupational Therapists and the British Heart Foundation to present a manifesto to parliament which aims to deliver effective, person-centred community rehabilitation services to all those who need them so that people can live well longer. Alongside Connie Harrison, who initiated the project, East City Films were commissioned to create a VR experience to be a centrepiece at the launch lobbying event for parliamentary MPs at Portcullis House.
