Firenze VR

Federico Russo takes the viewer on a virtual tour of Florence, until the city begins to change.

Synopsis

Landscapes, monuments, anecdotes: the Florence of collective memory, explored in 360°, from Piazza Santa Maria Novella to Piazza della Signoria and the Duomo, among the tourists. Then the scene shifts before the viewer’s eyes, bringing a message that is not easy to accept.

Production notes

Gold’s first fiction film about Florence, the city where it all began. No one commissioned it: it was a story we wanted to tell. A science fiction story that uses virtual reality to slide the viewer from a sightseeing tour into something unsettling.
