"That I didn’t leave the Virtual Cinema completely frustrated speaks to the power of the titles that did work. Austin filmmaker Terrence Malick’s TOGETHER, made in partnership with Facebook and Movement Art Is, a five-minute 360-degree dance performance, is absolutely breathtaking, with two performers communicating a gamut of emotions while Malick-like visuals are displayed on banners. Eventually, it gets cosmic. At first I thought the 360-degree feature was unnecessary; it would look beautiful in 2-D. But by the short film’s end, I was sold on Malick’s vision; it was a must-see that’s not yet available anywhere but at South by Southwest."
“TOGETHER” is a VR experience about the power of human connection. The piece fuses dance and technology, putting the viewer in the middle of an emotional narrative about breaking down barriers and bringing people closer.
The experience was created in collaboration with Palme d'Or winning director Terrence Malick, Academy Award nominated cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto and movement artists Jon Boogz and Lil Buck along with Facebook's creative studio, The Factory.
VR challenged Malick and Prieto to rethink the traditional narrative structure and deliver a piece that uses VR to tell a timeless story about human connection.
