Full dome films, since their emergence in the 90s, present a cinematic experience in a planetarium's curved display. They bridge traditional cinema's social interaction while offering a unique immersive experience not as consuming as virtual reality. The Dome Under film festival in Melbourne, running from January 31 to February 2, 2025, features 32 films from 15 countries, ranging from documentaries to animations. Festival director Warik Lawrance reminisces about his first encounter with this format, emphasizing its appeal to both children and adults through vast, captivating imagery.
Full dome films blend cinema with planetarium experiences, providing a unique and immersive viewing that engages audiences, unlike traditional screen formats.
Festival director Warik Lawrance recalls his inspiration from 'The Search for Life: Are We Alone,' a moment that solidified his desire to work in this medium.
