DESCRIPTION:During the past decade, VR has emerged as a new narrative medium, including cinematic virtual reality. Like conventional film, VR film footage can be edited. However, the embodied experience of VR presents novel challenges when editing film. After a brief introduction to VR film, Dr. Gruenewald will present an overview of how VR filmmakers have responded to these challenges and have found creative solutions specific to VR film. The talk will include VR works ranging from early examples of 360º film such as Chris Milk’s Evolution of Verse (2015) to the current state of the art in VR filmmaking such as Submerged (2025).   \n \nSPEAKER BIO: \n\n Tim Gruenewald is Associate Professor and Director of the BA in Global Creative Industries at the University of Hong Kong. He is the author of Curating America’s Painful Past: Memory, Museums, and the National Imagination(2021, Kansas UP) and the co-editor of Imperial Benevolence: U.S. Foreign Policy and American Popular Culture (2018, University of California Press).
