Electric South has supported African artists from a spectrum of creative disciplines to explore 360 filmmaking.
We act as a production studio – securing finance for projects; guiding creative development of ideas; mentoring first-time VR filmmakers throughout the production process; and facilitating post-production.
Our first projects were co-produced under the New Dimensions banner by Electric South and the Goethe-Institut South Africa, with additional support from Big World Cinema, Blue Ice Docs and the Bertha Foundation.
The New Dimension 2017 workshop opened me to the possibility VR technology affords as a tool of expression for a visual artist, making it easier to transition into viewing the world in a sphere. Special thanks to the Electric South team for the opportunity.” – Jumoke Sanwo
‘DOLLHOUSE for Queer Imaginaries’ is a multi-user VR project which invites a community to refigure the home through the act of play.
The project is a love story about home—who gets to make it and occupy it. The immersive experience invites a community to refigure the home through play, subverting the typology of the home and leveraging creative technology to provide safe, inclusive spaces for marginalised communities to gather and build community. The project’s outcome will be a social VR experience for audiences to inhabit, move around in, and engage in space-making by refiguring the world around them.
