Come join us in exploring new forms of immersive art at the largest festival of virtual and augmented reality films in Central and Eastern Europe!
The ART*VR 2026 program is out! This year we will introduce a total of 43 projects that will offer extraordinary experiences at the intersection of film, art, and new technologies. For the fourth time, we will meet at the DOX Center for Contemporary Art, which is also a co-producer of the festival, we will return under the digital dome of the Prague Planetarium, and we will also newly visit the Signal Space gallery. This year's theme, Circles of Intimacy, explores how virtual reality allows us to experience embodiment, closeness, and interpersonal relationships in new ways. It shows that intimacy is far from just explicit content. In the international competition, we will present 14 projects, some in their world premiere. Hollywood actors Mark Ruffalo and Viggo Mortensen have also lent their voices to some of this year's works. There will also be ten fulldome films that will immerse viewers in fascinating worlds under the dome of the Prague Planetarium. Come explore new forms of immersive art with us at the largest festival of virtual and augmented reality films in Central and Eastern Europe! Circles of Intimacy: from kinky practices to friendship in a small village.

What to give for Christmas this year: small ideas, big joy
Christmas has a special ability to transform even the most ordinary moments into something we look forward to all year. The smell of freshly baked cookies, lights in the windows, the first wrapped gift, or the evening when we finally turn off our phones and watch our favorite movie. However, amidst shopping, baking, and endless to-do lists, we sometimes forget the most important thing – to enjoy the preparations themselves. This year, try it a little differently. You don’t need a perfectly coordinated Christmas tree or twelve types of cookies. Just a few ideas that will bring joy to you and others. And perhaps the simplest ones will ultimately create the best Christmas atmosphere.
