Immersive Filmmaking Calendar 2023–2024: XR Festivals Deadlines
<p>This guide (or better say a well organised Google Spreadsheet) is a result of years of experience navigating the growing and eveloving world of XR Film festivals. I’ve started creating this calendar <a href="https://medium.com/vr-film-review/vr-film-festivals-awards-calendar-2018-7faeda3eee0d" rel="noopener">back in 2018</a> and have diligently updated it to keep it relevant for your needs.</p>
<p>In 2017–2018 it wasn’t that easy to track the festivals with VR in competition or as a special exhibition, as many major film events tried to fit on the VR into their program. Some of them never did more than 1–2 editions, others included VR into main competition and gave spotlight to an emerging media. Our spreadsheets from 2019–2022 were evolving the same way, keeping the track of establish film events as well as new dedicated XR showcases aimed to promote creative XR projects.</p>
<p>Making it as a Google Spreadsheet is still the most simple way to keep it up-to-date, but this year we made quite an impovement (on which we are still working on).</p>
<p>We split the spreadsheet into tabs, separating <strong>Film Festivals</strong> (meaning the events which have a submission process, selection and physical/virtual showcase), <strong>Awards (</strong>where the project got nominated and not showcased publicly), <strong>Market/Industry/Pitchings (</strong>and many of those Film Festivals from the first tab have their Market/Indusry section, so they might be repeating in both tabs but aimed to different parts of the festival). Additionally we are trying to collect data about <strong>Educational Labs</strong> for VR Creators (again, some of them are happening during Festivals and Markets), <strong>Distributors</strong> and <strong>Funds</strong>.</p>
