Screen NSW is getting into virtual reality in a big way, with a new app unveiled last week and a VR intensive taking place tomorrow, June 7, at Sydney's Carriageworks.
Sundance Film Festival's pivot to online meant that artist and filmmaker Lynette Wallworth turned her project 'HOW TO LIVE (After you Die)' from a live performance into an 85-minute film within a week.
