FANTASIA International Film Festival, in collaboration with Woolf + Lapin and Mont VR, are proud to present the FANTASIA VR Experience. From 12 p.m. to 8 p.m., Friday July 19 and Saturday, July 20, festivalgoers will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in an international program selected by Woolf + Lapin. A total of 12 Virtual Reality experiences await you, including a documentary series comprised of 5 independent episodes, many genre titles and a few poetic rhapsodies.

Admission is free, with a 20-minute session for each participant. Participants will be encouraged to vote for the favourite virtual reality film.
