Historic award for Chinese VR suspense movie
The short suspense film “Killing A Superstar” won the Best VR (virtual reality) Immersive Story award at the recent 77th Venice International Film Festival, the first time a VR film production from China’s mainland was honored at an international A-category film festival.
“Killing a Superstar” uses VR technology — considered a fashionable new trend in the film industry — to offer a panoramic, interactive telling of the story.
The film also features multiple parallel narratives. Viewers are given the freedom to switch between different scenes to identify clues and uncover the truth on their own. It leverages 8K HD and Dolby Atmos technology to present an immersive VR audio-visual experience, and is now available on iQiyi’s VR app and Qiyu’s all-in-one VR headset platform.
