From revered filmmakers Molly Reynolds and Rolf de Heer comes a ground-breaking 3D VR experience that asks the question: what if humans are an invading alien force?

The Waiting Room ruminates on humanity, on its creativity and its destructiveness. Presented on the Dreamdeck360 platform, it invites participants to consider a deep, meditative engagement with the questions at the heart of the work. They are questions familiar to both directors, with Reynolds and de Heer frequently addressing issues of colonisation and cultural survival, through films such as Another Country (MIFF 2015) and Still Our Country – Reflections on a Culture (MIFF 2014).

In 2019, Arts House will partner with the Melbourne International Film Festival to support artists in the pursuit of creative expression and to bring innovative and compelling works at the intersection of technology and storytelling to our combined audiences. We will be transformed into a hub of immersive VR experiences, with more being announced in July.

Since 2016, MIFF VR has been an integral part of MIFF, delivering the very best of virtual reality storytelling to sold-out audiences, bringing game-changing artists to Melbourne, championing emerging voices, and pushing the boundaries of new and exciting technologies. Read more.
