Underwater VR Dance Film Premieres at Venice Film Festival

The virtual reality cinedance work 'Bodies of Water' debuted at the 81st Venice International Film Festival's Venice Immersive section. Co-created by artists Chélanie Beaudin-Quintin and Caroline Laurin-Beaucage, this twelve-minute stereoscopic 3D film explores the relationship between human bodies and aquatic environments. Shot in a nighttime swimming pool, the piece uses water as an active choreographic element that transforms performers' movements. The immersive experience invites viewers into a fluid sensory environment where distinctions between reality and imagination blur, drawing connections to the myth of Narcissus and contemporary digital self-reflection.
