The 2022 Dome Fest West festival weekend will include Dome film screenings, technology presentations, industry panels, festival mixers, and interactive workshops. All-Access Festival passes are available that include access to all of the Dome Fest West events taking place over the weekend, as well as All-Access Screening passes that are limited to allowing access to all screenings of the festival.
Over this exciting weekend, immersive filmmakers from across the globe will have a chance to watch the most cutting-edge experiences and programs, learn from the best producers in the Entertainment Industry, and ultimately take immersive Dome content to another level. Immersive cinema is an immersive fulldome experience where audiences are fully surrounded by the movie screen. It allows audiences to feel like they are inside the movie, and not just watching it. Immersive cinema can provide a more intense and memorable experience than traditional 2D movie theaters. Moviegoers will have a brand new way to watch Hollywood-caliber immersive content -- all without requiring a VR headset. It’s clear that Dome content isn't just for planetariums or science centers anymore!
