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&rsquo;ve started creating this calendar&nbsp;<a href="https://medium.com/vr-film-review/vr-film-festivals-awards-calendar-2018-7faeda3eee0d" rel="noopener">back in 2018</a>&nbsp;and have diligently updated it to keep it relevant for your needs.</p> <p>In 2017&ndash;2018 it wasn&rsquo;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&ndash;2 editions, others included VR into main competition and gave spotlight to an emerging media. Our spreadsheets from 2019&ndash;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&nbsp;<strong>Film Festivals</strong>&nbsp;(meaning the events which have a submission process, selection and physical/virtual showcase),&nbsp;<strong>Awards (</strong>where the project got nominated and not showcased publicly),&nbsp;<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&nbsp;<strong>Educational Labs</strong>&nbsp;for VR Creators (again, some of them are happening during Festivals and Markets),&nbsp;<strong>Distributors</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Funds</strong>.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/vr-film-review/immersive-filmmaking-calendar-2023-2024-xr-festivals-deadlines-922143d76a79"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
