International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam IDFA is the ideal meeting place for film professionals and the key launch pad for independent documentary films. The festival has a special section for Music Documentaries and is also open to interactive and transmedia documentary projects, which can be submitted to our new media program IDFA DocLab. IDFA DocLab Founded in 2007, IDFA DocLab is one of the world's leading platforms exploring the future of interactive technology, art and non-fiction storytelling. As part of the annual IDFA festival, DocLab presents a prestigious competition program, live cinema events and installations ranging from Virtual Re- ality to AI experiments, performances and data art. Industry activities include the DocLab Interactive Conference, DocLab Academy training program and a new initiative to commis- sion Virtual Reality and immersive technology art. www.idfa.nl/doclab DocLab Showcase at SXSW 2016 For the 9th consecutive year, SXSW invited IDFA DocLab to guest curate a session for the SXSW Digital Domain program. This year, we focus on the exciting new frontier of hand-drawn virtual reality. This relatively new form of VR brings a physi- cality, personality and intimacy to the medium that is hard to achieve in traditional 360 video or computer animated proj- ects. Seeing the same potential, Oculus and HTC Vive recently released their first VR drawing tools (Tilt Brush and Quill), however, few artists have so far been able to really explore the creative and technological challenges of hand-drawn virtual reality. That's why IDFA DocLab proudly presents an in-depth case study of Drawing Room, the world's first successful hand- drawn virtual reality artwork by pioneering visual artist Jan Rothuizen and interactive designer Sara Kolster. March 13th, at the Ballroom C in the Austin Convention Centre. See the SXSW Digital Domain schedule for a full line-up and follow @doclab for live updates from the event.
