The BFI London Film Festival will debut Canadian filmmaker Guy Maddin’s latest project as part of LFF Expanded, the festival’s Immersive Art and Extended Realities strand, which runs from October 5-16, 2022.Programmed by Ulrich Schrauth, the BFI’s Immersive Art and XR Curator, this year’s LFF Expanded lineup showcases 20 projects from 17 countries across the world, all of which feature artists working in emerging technologies, such as interactive virtual reality, screen-based installations, augmented reality, mixed reality, immersive audio experience and live performance.The lineup includes the World Premiere of Guy Maddin’s latest work Haunted Hotel: A Melodrama in Augmented Reality.
Presented at BFI Southbank, this evocative, immersive exhibition transports the audience into a surreal paper world, created from an eclectic selection of clippings drawn from Maddin’s own personal archive, set to an intricate soundscape by acclaimed composer Magnus Fiennes.
The project was commissioned by the LFF and will be exhibited at BFI Southbank until October 30, 2022. It will be accompanied by special screenings of three further works by Maddin in late October.“We are delighted to have worked with legendary filmmaker Guy Maddin to present our first very own BFI London Film Festival commission — Haunted Hotel — a new Augmented Reality work that invites audiences to explore a vibrant tableau of desire, deception and death,” Schrauth said.The festival will also host the World Premiere of the fully immersive version of Intravene, a collaboration between the immersive film studio DARKFIELD, Canadian filmmaker Brenda Longfellow and drugs podcast Crackdown.
