Immersive Doc ‘Stay Alive, My Son’ Uses Compassion to Spur Action
Prosecutor-turned-immersive storyteller Victoria Bousis has seen the strands of her professional lives converge as she’s toured 'Stay Alive, My Son.'
After premiering out of South by Southwest and playing Venice Immersive, “Stay Alive, My Son” showcased at this week’s NewImages Festival in Paris and was recently selected for Annecy’s VR competition in June. Threading a personal narrative through evocations of wider historical atrocity, the project has also made an impact beyond the XR festival circuit, and was invited by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees to screen for diplomats, NGO bigwigs and heads of state in a bid to shape global policy. Next, she hopes to introduce a version of “Stay Alive, My Son” optimized for LED walls and shared viewing experiences, and is in conversations with Los Angeles-area cultural spaces for a possible museum showcase.
