Unrest VR

2017

Interactive Nonfiction

World premiere — Tribeca Film Festival Virtual Arcade 2017

Winner — VR Award — Sheffield Doc/Fest

Unrest VR is an interactive non-fiction experience inspired by Jennifer Brea’s feature documentary Unrest (Sundance 2017 Special Jury Award). An immersive journey into Jen’s experience of an invisible illness, myalgic encephalomyelitis, the project contrasts the painful solitary confinement of a bedroom world with the kinetic freedom of an inner dreamscape. When you’re too sick to leave your bed, where do you go?
