The 8th edition of NewImages Festival concluded with a vibrant celebration of the creativity, depth, and boldness that define the contemporary immersive scene.

The XR Competition laureates<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of this year\u2019s celebration was the XR Competition, where projects explored identity, perception, and transformation through both personal and collective lenses. From visual poetry to political allegories, the jury\u2014comprising filmmaker Marie Amachoukeli<\/strong>, artist-technologist Violeta Ayala<\/strong>, and composer Philippe Cohen Solal<\/strong>\u2014honored works that used immersion not only as a technical feat but as a tool for introspection and disruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Grand Prize<\/strong> went to Ito Meiky\u016b<\/em>, a mesmerizing work by Boris Labb\u00e9 that submerges the audience in an endless labyrinth of form and feeling. Aesthetic mastery, conceptual depth, and cultural nuance earned it the highest recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Impact Prize<\/strong> was awarded to Duchampiana<\/em>, a bold experience by Lilian Hess that challenges social constructs by inviting users to physically transgress them. Its performative dimension and political stance resonated strongly with the jury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trans-Composition<\/em>, by Shiuan Yan, was recognized with the Interactivity Prize<\/strong> for its meditative and philosophically rich interface. Rooted in Chinese spiritual traditions, it crafts a surreal and contemplative journey through cycles of transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Special Mention<\/strong>, dubbed the “Trippy Mention<\/strong>“, was given to Yorutouge<\/em>, a dazzling VR concert directed by mikkabouzu featuring the otherworldly sounds of Vocaloid Kikuo. Celebrated for its sensory impact and cultural specificity, it captivated audiences with its dreamlike force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The XR Development laureate<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the competition, NewImages Festival also honored innovation in development and production. In the XR Market, Follow the Carnation<\/em>, a dystopian narrative exploring memory and political loss, earned the XR Development Prize<\/strong>. Directed by Catarina de Sousa and Lui Avallos, the project stood out for its storytelling and potential for global impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunny Side of the Doc laureate<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the Sunny Side of the Doc x NewImages Prize<\/strong> went to Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls<\/em>, an engaging experience that brings to life the stories of trailblazing women through VR interactivity and hybrid documentary formats. The project was lauded for its educational value and cross-generational appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
