Virtual reality is everywhere

For a long time documentary films have been working with VR and 360º. At the same time this new form of media polarises opinion like no other.
DOK.fest Munich has compiled a Best Of international exhibit where visitors can experience the great diversity of current forms of representation and storytelling as well as innovative journalistic and essay formats.
