Synopsis
Montegelato is a montage film in VR, the first of its kind. Hundreds of cinematic sequences define a three- dimensional collage of the Monte Gelato waterfalls (Rome, Italy) as they have been filmed in more than 180 productions including films, TV series and commercials. From peplum to western, from comedy to thriller, from science-fiction to erotica: sounds and videos expand in an immersive landscape that transports the Falls in time and space.

Diversion cinemaDiversion cinema has been experimenting with Virtual Reality (VR) since 2016 while welcoming visitors into its VR theater open to the public in Paris. As a partner to the world’s most prestigious festivals, Diversion cinema has developed an expertise in content reception, technical support, complex installation set-up, scenography, logistics, on-site operation, mediation, ticketing and more. In 2018, Diversion cinema opened a distribution department in order to promote immersive experiences internationally and reach a wider audience. In 2019, the company moved into the creative hub of the Centquatre-Paris, where it continues to explore ways to spread this new art form.
