Dive into a world of blooming mechanical life forms, where you can swim, navigate, and explore using your whole body. Immerse yourself in an out-of-this-world political drama that's as intriguing as it is unique.
ECHO PROJECT 9 (dir. Małgorzata Wabińska, PL, 9’)

The Mermaid Effect (dir. Markéta Magidová, CZ, 12’)
The film takes place in underwater film studios, with mythological sea creatures and humans working in unequal status. Their livelihood is based on the production of mainstream films of mermaids that reduce the diversity of their bodies and stories.
Oei (dir. Lucas Dewulf, BE, 50’)
The project is an immersive VR ritual for 5 participants. The audience becomes the main character in a journey to rediscover safety in expressing emotions through their body and touch.

Can the human soul be digitized? After the loss of her father, Line Hoven embarks on a personal journey into the world of digital and generative art, navigating the emotional depths of life and death in an immersive, interactive VR experience.
🏆Awards for IDF Alumni Projects 🏆
Baltic UXO Won the Docu Talent Award
We are very proud to announce that our Ex Oriente Film alumni project Baltic UXO by Agnė Dovydaitytė and Alexander Belinski, produced by Dagnė Vildžiūnaitė, has just been awarded at the Sarajevo Film Festival. Huge congratulations to the whole team!
According to the jury, “This project looks very professional, featured beautiful cinematography, and seems to turn a hidden secret into a universal story. We can imagine the success of the planned impact campaign, connecting the film to contemporary conversations around environmentalism, militarism and the political decisions that happen without our knowledge.” 🎥✨
