On Saturday, February 5, anyone with a digital connection anywhere in the world will be able to access this free, immersive and interactive experience.

Each film will be presented in a fully immersive virtual world designed specifically to bring the audience into the art of the film. Big Rock Creative Co-founder, Doug Jacobson explains, "This will be unlike any film festival I can think of because we are creating spaces specifically designed for the audience to become immersed in the creative vision of the film makers."
All participants, regardless of how they access the festival, will be able to connect and interact with the artists and audience across multiple platforms at the same time. You can join via AltspaceVR (3D, 2D desktop, or VR headset) and/or Zoom (desktop, tablet or mobile). Through a proprietary method, everything will be visually and aurally connected for real time interaction.
"BRCvr was created to bring together Burners and the Burner curious from around the world," said Athena Demos, Big Rock Creative - Co-Founder. "We have been developing innovative projects to continue ways of combining art and community. We are so excited to share this film festival experience with everyone however they choose to participate."
