The NewImages Festival and Cannes XR launch “Alexandria”

15 March 2022

After partnering up in 2021, the NewImages Festival and Cannes XR reach a new level together
with the creation of a common metaverse to exhibit the best of international VR creation!

We are very pleased to announce the creation of a common metaverse as part of a new partnership between the NewImages Festival and Cannes XR: ALEXANDRIA!

This unique virtual world, created and developed in collaboration with the KREIS company (a company specializing in the creation of virtual space), is conceived and designed as a futuristic Alexandria harbor, both a cultural place and a point of departure to other worlds…

The VR selections of the NewImages Festival and Cannes XR will be presented, with the common aim of democratizing immersive creation internationally.

📌To begin, find the best of international VR creation with the selections of the two events: from 17 to 28 May and from 8 to 12 June 2022.

This virtual exhibition will be accessible :
🔸 online, via the Alexandria application available on Steam platform: for people with a VR headset
🔸 in situ, during the two events: for all
🔸 free access for all accredited NewImages Festival 2022

Michaël Swierczynski, Festival Director and Artistic Director:
“We are very happy to renew our partnership with Canned XR by launching an even more ambitious project, that makes these virtual works accessible in a world without borders. Alexandria brightly bears witness to the horizon of immersive creation while incarnating the home base of future arts and culture metaverses.”
