Genus
Director: Joseph White
Year: 2016
Set in the not so distant future where genetic selection and physical perfection are the norm and all the qualities men and women aspire to can be purchased prior to birth. Those financially unable to ‘self-improve’ are shunned and ostracised to London’s King Cross district (The Kross). When a series of murders shakes The Kross, the unorthodox Detective Gunt is assigned to the case.
Mrs Benz
Director: Eloise Singer
Year: 2025
Mrs Benz brings to life the remarkable true story of Bertha Benz, a pioneer who defied societal expectations and risked everything to prove her husband Karl Benz’s revolutionary invention, the world’s first motorcar, to the world. Set in 1888 Germany, the experience centres on Bertha’s daring 120-kilometre journey, undertaken in secret and against the conventions of her time. What began as an act of quiet defiance became a turning point in global innovation, reshaping history itself. Directed by Emmy-nominated filmmaker Eloise Singer and starring Daisy Ridley, this narrative-driven VR experience premiered in competition at Venice Film Festival, and went on to premiere at Cannes, SXSW, Sheffield Doc/Fest, and Berlin. The project is now regarded as a significant work in immersive storytelling, bringing to light the story of a woman long overlooked in the history of innovation.
