Despite everything that’s been happening here in our war ridden region, we are happy to share that five Israeli immersive projects participated last week at NewImages Hub in Paris, a leading market and festival for immersive storytelling.
👏 Representatives of the three teams, recipients of Makor Media Lab’s funding grants and participants in our latest XR incubator workshop, met with industry professionals, built new connections and sought out co-production partners. The projects are: A Pirate’s Portrait – Amit Gicelter, Liron Narunsky | Andaloussia – Nimrod Shanit, Oury Atlan | Shbka – Ori Zeiger, Noam Karutchi.
👏 Nofar Laor, the creator of The Burner Boys, a project developed on our XR workshop three years ago, was also looking for additional funding and met with industry professionals.
👏 Two completed projects produced with the support of Makor Media Lab, were selected for the Distribution Market, they are: Eddie and I – Maya Shekel | Echoes of the Jordan – Roy Kimhi.
Good luck to them and once again a big Thank You to our partners this year: Israel Lottery Council for Culture and the Arts – Mifal HaPais, The French Institute in Israel – The French Embassy in Israel, Kan – Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation, NewImages Festival, Anu – Museum of the Jewish People, Alma Films.
