Film Fund Luxembourg and Neimënster have decided to extend the virtual reality pavilion through end-May in light of high demand.
The VR pavilion is part of the Luxembourg City Film Festival, which normally runs through 14 March. The VR to Go service, which allows users to rent VR headsets and enjoy one of two programmes over three days from the comfort of their own homes, is also being extended.
“In parallel to the physical pavilion, the new VR to Go formula exceeded expectations and convinced an audience of those curious or adept at VR,” according to the Friday press release by Neimënster, the site hosting the pavilion and from which the VR to Go headsets can be picked up and dropped off.

While last year’s virtual reality pavilion at the Luxembourg City Film Festival was cut short due to covid-19, this year’s edition has been structured to put visitors at ease, even offering a customised option to experience VR from the comfort of your own home.
“VR to Go”, developed by the pavilion’s Montreal partner Phi, gives visitors the option to rent an easy-to-use headset to see select works at home. As Luxembourg Film Fund director Guy Daleiden explained during a Friday press conference, the headset functions in and of itself, the films already integrated, thereby requiring no connection, e.g., to a laptop, during a Friday press conference.
