“1968,” a new XR work from award-winning Director and Animator Rose Bond will have its WORLD PREMIERE, in competition at the 82 nd Venice International Film Festival on Wednesday, August 27, 2025. This follows
the success of Bond’s previous work “Earths to Come,” which exhibited as part of the Biennale College program last year.
“1968 “is ‘communal VR theatre’ that explores the transformative power of protest through allusions to 1968, a year charged with societal, political and cultural unrest . The work interweaves narrative strands in search
of those international interstices of history, power and human connection that become particularly resonant during times of major socio-cultural upheaval.
