The House [VR]

Synopsis

THE HOUSE is a 25 minute experience on a VR headset which uses a house as a metaphor for Northern Ireland and puts the player in role as a potential resident. The piece was created following a successful run in both West and East Belfast of a live experience through a domestic house.
THE HOUSE was created with the Commission for Victims and Survivors, using their research into post conflict inter-generational trauma, 25 years on from the GFA.

A landmark feature documentary about astronaut Eileen Collins, the first woman to pilot and command the Space Shuttle. Eileen’s incredible journey starts with her smalltown beginnings, sees her smash through many glass ceilings, and culminates in four dramatic space shuttle missions, the last being possibly the most dangerous and most important of them all. At its heart the film is the moving human drama of one family, where a mother’s extraordinary career takes us straight to the big philosophical question of what is the level of acceptable risk in human endeavour? This film celebrates Commander Collins’ trailblazing NASA career which opened the way for women to become spacecraft pilots and commanders, and proved a perfect riposte to a previous generation of male astronauts who thought there was no place for women to lead the way in space.
