The Cannes Film Festival has announced it is launching a new competition section dedicated to immersive cinema.
In a statement the fest said that in 2017, Alejandro González Iñárritu “made history at the 70th edition of the Festival de Cannes with his groundbreaking virtual reality piece, ‘Carne y Arena (Virtually Present, Physically Invisible)’ marking the first immersive work ever presented as an official selection at a major film festival.”
