  David Attenborough's First Life (Matt Baker Jones & Elliot Graves, GB 2020)

  For over 60 years, biologist and programme maker Sir David Attenborough (97) has been travelling the world to record our planet and everything that lives on it, always featuring breathtaking footage and supported by his characteristic, charming voice-overs. Join him as he travels some 350 million years back in time to bring the fossils of extinct animals to life using virtual reality. See what the first animals on earth looked like with your own eyes as well as how they developed from single-celled creatures to awe-inspiring predators that terrorised the sea floor.

  Planet Infini (Planet ∞) (Momoko Seto, JP/FR 2017)

  Japanese filmmaker Momoko Seto’s VR film Planet Infini (Planet ∞), which was also screened at the Cannes Film Festival, shows viewers a destroyed earth in which nature has gained the upper hand. Humanity and almost all animals have died out, only insects and fungi have survived. When the weather changes, the desiccated earth floods. An ecosystem develops in the water, inhabited by strange sea creatures. Is this a convincing piece of science fiction or a prophetic vision? Whatever the case may be, you are likely to view animals and plants differently from now on.

  Myriad (Michael Grotenhoff & Christian Zipfel, DE 2022)

  Myriad utilises the latest 360° 3D technology to tell the story of the spectacular re-introduction of the almost extinct Northern bald ibis. This legendary, large bird once occurred in the wild in Europe, but now solely exists in Morocco. Breeding young ibises in captivity is one thing, but how do you get them to start their migration to Tuscany from the zoo in Vienna which, in nature, they would learn from older birds? Put your VR headset on and fly along with the flock on their 15-day, 800 km journey led by their human foster parents in ultralights.
