What the Press is Saying:

“A new wave of international filmmakers who are pushing the boundaries of cinema and narrative using Virtual Reality”
Embreate

“Directors haven’t even begun to realize the full capabilities of VR, but FIVARS at least offers a glimpse at the artistic potential of an entirely new medium.”
DorkShelf

“Virtual Reality isn’t the stuff of fantasy any longer. Thanks to FIVARS, Canada’s first virtual reality film festival, this super-charged tech is destined to change how we experience on-screen storytelling.”
Digital Journal
