Impulse: Playing with Reality by Anagram, co-produced by Floréal & France Télévisions.
Impulse has been supported by Meta VR for Good, France Télévisions, CNC, Agog, City of Paris, and Unity Charitable Fund, a fund of Tides Foundation.
Impulse was presented at the 2023 Venice Gap-Financing Market and Tribeca Creators Market.
ANAGRAM is an award-winning creative studio specialising in interactive storytelling and immersive experience design that challenges the status quo. Experimenting at the edges of technology, our mission is to make thought-provoking and playful experiences that bring profound new perspectives.
We use physical and interactive storytelling across a number of contexts to challenge, inspire and influence the cultural discourse around present social and political issues.
The personal is always political. How we see ourselves, our value, meaning and power is something that comes from the invisible context of culture and society. Revealing what is invisible gives us power to change it.
Door Into The Dark (2015) was our debut into the immersive arena. Our more recent works include Goliath: Playing with Reality (2021), Messages to a Post Human Earth (2021), A Face to Open Doors (2020) and The Collider (2019).
Emmy-nominated and winners of the Grand Jury Prize for Best VR Work at the 2021 Venice International Film Festival. Anagram have previously been awarded the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival Storyscapes Award, the 2019 Sandbox Immersive Art Award, part of the Best VR in 2019 at the Venice International Film Festival.
Founded in 2014, Floréal, based between Paris and Montreal and led by Avi Amar alongside producer Katayoun Dibamehr, is committed to discovering, supporting and sustaining talents with a singular gaze and solid artistic ambitions, both in cinema and immersive formats (XR). Since its creation, Floréal has produced or co-produced several works, including the highly acclaimed Minimum Mass (Cristal at Annecy 2020), The Hangman at Home (Grand Jury Prize at Venice 2020 and The Masque d’or at NewImages 2021), Goliath: Playing with Reality (Grand Prix à Venise en 2021 et nommé aux Emmy Awards – News & Documentary Award en 2022), Conann (Cannes – Quinzaine des Cinéastes en 2023) et Maya : The Birth of a Superhero (Festival de Cannes – compétition Immersive en 2024).
