VIRTUAL REALITY

Broken Spectre

Evan Jones/ Stitch Media

in Virtual Reality New Media

Canada, 120 min

25 years ago your father climbed the mountain and never came back.
Now he’s calling for you.

Broken Spectre is a cosmic horror narrative game for hand-tracking VR. You play as Casey, a strong-headed adventurer haunted by her troubled family history. You hear news that your father, a biologist long suspected dead in the treacherous wilderness of Northwest Canada, may still be alive. Searching for him, you find his mutated experiments and track his path, leading you to higher and more dangerous elevations. As night falls, you spot someone on a cliff ledge above you, with bated breath you climb up, but it’s not your father - it’s an unearthly abomination. Trapped in the mountain’s maze, you wonder, is time distorting your reality, or are you going mad with altitude sickness? Collect gruesome clues, decipher cryptic puzzles, perform cult rituals, and travel into family traumas in this mystical slow-burn horror story.

Bloody Reunion

Director Haiping Gu

in Virtual Reality New Media

China, 30 minutes

A mysterious phone call brings three old friends back to their high school after a decade. They find the school is long abandoned and haunted by something they are very familiar with. Weird phone rings, secret video clips, a hanged body, and other bizarre events occur... All point to the unspeakable past and the sin they committed 10 years ago. Is it Karma? Is it the missing girl, herself a victim of school bullying, who takes vengeance on her tormentors? It is just about to begin

Philip Kindred Dick (December 16, 1928 – March 2, 1982) was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist and philosopher whose published works mainly belong to the genre of science fiction. The novel The Man in the High Castle bridged the genres of alternate history and science fiction, earning Dick a Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1963. 

In addition to 44 published novels, Dick wrote approximately 121 short stories, most of which appeared in science fiction magazines during his lifetime. Although Dick spent most of his career as a writer in near-poverty, eleven popular films based on his works have been produced, including Blade Runner,Total Recall, A Scanner Darkly, Minority Report, Paycheck, Next, and The Adjustment Bureau. In 2007, Dick became the first science fiction writer to be included in-the Library of America series.

MISSION

The mission of the Philip K. Dick Film Festival is to promote original or adapted material inspired by the works of Philip K. Dick, Jorge Luis Borges, Italo Calvino, Robert Anton Wilson, Franz Kafka and others who have explored the metaphysical, the eerie  in all its manifestations. We look at films that challenge the viewers reality  with ideas and concepts not normally found in conventional stories. All genres are welcome.

We look for original voices and visions in works submitted. Lastly, this is a festival by filmmakers for filmmakers.
