BFI London Snippet
by Christine Riney

Extended Reality at the Festival: If you haven’t tried an XR headset you should. When wearing a headset, you are part of two worlds, your physical world where you are standing or seated and sometimes holding a controller, and the virtual world where the film is rolling in front of your eyes and in your ears. Where these extended reality worlds are heading for cinematic experiences I don't know, but overall, during the experience I felt alone. At a real-life cinema, you are experiencing something collectively. I prefer the real-life collective experience. Try it and see.
