Pagan Peak VR: Alpine Atrocities

An interview with Ioulia Isserlis and Max Sacker of AnotherWorld VR

Yes, I’m caught up in prep-stress. The Venice International Film Festival is about to commence and with it, its brilliant branch Venice VR. But before things would kick off, I desperately wanted to talk to the creative folks behind Pagan Peak VR, the only German entry to the Venetian VR competition.

The Tribeca Film Festival marked my first overseas event, and it came with the ambitious goal of sampling every single experience found in the virtual reality exhibit. How did I do? See for yourself.
