Navegar Foundation held the Immersive Film Festival at Centro Multimeios of Espinho, Portugal, April 24-26. On an Evans & Sutherland fulldome digital video system, some 25 fulldome cinema productions were shown in addition to 23 new works submitted for creative competition.
Also on the program was a group discussion led by IMERSA, a nonprofit created to promote the fulldome medium. Sponsors of the event included Sky-Skan, RSA Cosmos, Global Imagination and Map Cards. Additional information and images at https://iff.multimeios.pt/.
