The Ubik performance art space at Worm in Rotterdam is the venue to four VR works at International Film Festival Rotterdam, two of which have been created by novices to the medium.
Featured in the festival’s Art Directions program, which aims to unite art and cinema, “To Miss the Ending” from U.K. duo Anna West and David Callanan explores a future that is immediately relatable to audiences living in a pandemic-struck world.
Originally conceived as a theater project five years ago, the experience takes users into a virtual world where five characters have escaped climate change, political chaos, disease and famine by uploading themselves.
In this Minecraft-style universe they start to build their own universe block-by-block, based on their existing memories – but when the code starts to rot memories become intertwined before slowly disintegrating.

"Must have some weakness, something we can use against them." A full-length trailer has been unveiled for an indie sci-fi project titled Revolt, from director Joe Miale making his feature debut. The film stars Lee Pace as a Us soldier in Africa attempting to fight back against a brutal alien invasion. This kind of seems a bit like a mash-up between District 9 and Transformers, with robot-like alien creatures taking over. Also with Bérénice Marlohe (who was also in the sci-fi Kill Switch, as well as Skyfall and Song to Song), plus Amy Louise Wilson, Alan Santini, and Tom Fairfoot. This has some solid VFX work and it seems like it could be a fun under-the-radar sci-fi film, I just hope it's better than it looks. This trailer is worth a watch. Here's the first international trailer for Joe Miale's sci-fi Revolt, found on YouTube (via Quiet Earth) The...

Quiet Earth has debuted the trailer for Joe Miale's Revolt. Aka Prisoner of War, this sci-fi thriller was shot in South Africa. Completed in 2015, the film will see its premiere in Japan, this Summer. A North American release date remains elusive. Revolt stars Lee Pace (The Fall, 2006) as a U.S. soldier, fighting off an alien invasion. Though, the aliens look very robotic. Revolt also stars: Bérénice Marlohe and Amy Louise Wilson. The film's official trailer, courtesy of Dutch FilmWorks, is hosted here. The synopsis, from distribution house, Voltage Pictures, mentions a French aid worker. Together, Bo (Pace) and Nadia (Marlohe) stave off mankind's extinction as the world is overrun by robotic juggernauts. The war looks hopeless, unless new technology can be developed, to thwart the onslaught. The trailer shows some of the film's special effects. The alien force is almost entirely developed via CGI. Meanwhile, the settings show...

"If you continue to attack, we will continue to respond." Netflix has debuted a trailer for a new film titled The Siege of Jadotville, about the "untold true story" of "The Siege of Jadotville". The siege took place in September 1961, during the Un intervention in the Katanga conflict in Congo-Léopoldville in Central Africa when a company of Irish Un troops were attacked by troops loyal to the Katangese Prime Minister Moise Tshombe. The lightly-armed Irish soldiers resisted Katangese assaults for six days as a relief force of Irish and Swedish troops attempted to reach them. Jamie Dornan stars, with Mark Strong, Jason O'Mara, Mikael Persbrandt, Guillaume Canet & Amy Louise Wilson. This looks much better than expected. Here's the first official trailer for Richie Smyth's The Siege of Jadotville, direct from Netflix's YouTube: The Siege of Jadotville tells the true story of the 1961 siege of a 150-member Irish U.N.
