This is Not a Ceremony premieres at 2022 Sundance Film Festival

The project mixes documentary type of testimony with symbols, humor, poetry and metaphoric visual-imaginary elements.

Colin Van Loon (Operations Manager, IM4 Media Lab) was recently interviewed by TechvangArt about his captivating VR experience, This is Not a Ceremony, which just had its world premiere at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival. The project mixes documentary type of testimony with symbols, humor, poetry and metaphoric visual-imaginary elements.

Immersed in the virtual environment, your guides are two Indigenous trickster poets that accompany you – sometimes with caustic humor – on a journey to bear witness to indigenous injustice. They are accompanied by Matriarchs and Inii (buffalo) that rule this virtual realm and lead with kindness, bringing us face-to-face with some of the grim realities Indigenous Peoples have experienced.
