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.
