Isle of the Dead

Isle of the Dead is a timeless journey, starting from an everyday apartment towards our final destination, guided by Charon, ferryman of the Underworld. This VR experience is a loose recreation of the eponymous work painted in 1883 by the Swiss symbolist painter Arnold Böcklin. The famous masterpiece also inspired a symphonic poem by Rachmaninov, which makes a perfect soundtrack to accompany the experience. Isle of the Dead is part of the collection « ARTE TRIPS », a series of immersive VR experiences that take you into masterpieces from 16th to 20th century by well-known painters. • Best Story in VR at Venice Film Festival 2018 • Audience Award at Entrevues Belfort 2018 • Special Jury VR award at FilmGate Miami 2018 • Best Virtual Reality Short Film at China International New Media Short Film Festival A VR experience directed by Benjamin Nuel Written by Benjamin Nuel et Clémence Madeleine-Perdrillat A coproduction Les Produits Frais, ARTE France.
