Join MoMI for a program preceding the opening of its new LAB space, offering a unique opportunity to experience landmark immersive works such as "Tree," "Traveling While Black," "Notes on Blindness," "Step to the Line," and "Clouds Over Sidra." The event includes live demonstrations, screenings, and conversations with pioneering directors and new voices in the field. A closing reception will gather filmmakers, scholars, technologists, and cultural leaders to discuss the evolution and future of immersive storytelling amidst advancements in AI and other emerging technologies. The program runs from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and requires a free RSVP.

Inside the Story: Ten Years of Immersive Documentary with Chris Milk (visionary immersive artist and founder of Within), James George (Emmy Award–winning immersive creator and inventor of Depthkit), Michèle Stephenson (Guggenheim Fellow, multi-award-winning documentary filmmaker and founder of Rada Studio), Gabo Arora (VR pioneer and inaugural director, MoMI LAB), Angela Watercutter (Moderator from Wired magazine)

This event celebrates a decade of immersive documentary, a storytelling form that began with "Clouds Over Sidra" and has since evolved to train doctors, preserve memories, and transport audiences. Much like early cinema experiments, these works signify the birth of a new artistic medium.
