Immersive Documentary Shorts – VR Pop-Ups

The MIT Open Documentary Lab, in collaboration with the Villa Albertine Boston, has launched a series for Virtual Reality (VR) Pop-Ups in public libraries across the Boston Greater Area!

A collection of fourteen diverse and creative experiences has been selected, among which six are french productions. All VR Pop-Ups are using immersive storytelling to explore civic life, identity, immigration, indigeneity, racial in/justice, disability, and new forms of creative expression.
