We are thrilled to announce the official selection of this year’s East Doc Interactive participating projects. This year’s lineup brings together a mix of voices and stories, pushing documentary storytelling in new and exciting directions with innovative, immersive techniques. East Doc Interactive is organised by the Institute of Documentary Film in partnership with ART*VR Festival. The event will take place on October 17-19, 2024 in Prague.

Aquatia (dir. Paweł Szarzyński, PL, 30’)
Dive into a world of blooming mechanical life forms, where you can swim, navigate, and explore using your whole body. Immerse yourself in an out-of-this-world political drama that's as intriguing as it is unique.

ECHO PROJECT 9 (dir. Małgorzata Wabińska, PL, 9’)
The film creatively explores the journey of self-development. Starting in an undefined space, users are immersed in a unique meditation-like experience, seeking a connection between body and mind through visuals, sounds, and perception play.

The Mermaid Effect (dir. Markéta Magidová, CZ, 12’)
The film takes place in underwater film studios, with mythological sea creatures and humans working in unequal status. Their livelihood is based on the production of mainstream films of mermaids that reduce the diversity of their bodies and stories.

Oei (dir. Lucas Dewulf, BE, 50’)
The project is an immersive VR ritual for 5 participants. The audience becomes the main character in a journey to rediscover safety in expressing emotions through their body and touch.

Scratching the Surface (dir. Wiktor Filip Gacparski, DE, 17’)
Can the human soul be digitized? After the loss of her father, Line Hoven embarks on a personal journey into the world of digital and generative art, navigating the emotional depths of life and death in an immersive, interactive VR experience. The project is currently in development. Founded by MOIN Film Fund Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein.
