#1835: Preview of IDFA DocLab 2026 Shared Realities Program & 20th Anniversary

I interviewed curators Casper Sonnen and Beata Calińska about every project featuerd within the IDFA DocLab Selection for their 20th Anniversary, including the Immersive Non-Fiction Competition, Digital Storytelling Competition, as well as the Spotlight. We also talked about the Shared Realities Consortium and theme sponsored by the Creative Industries Immersive Impact Coalition (CIIIC) that will be prominently featured this year, as well as the Playrooms to check out the latest immersive prototypes. I’m writing this from Amsterdam, and I’m excited to cover the festival this year again, including the R&D Summit. Don’t miss the 121-page DocLab Immersive Think Tank Report 2026 that I wrote earlier this year that dives into what’s happening with an indie LBE XR Distribution networks that are emerging that feature cutting-edge immersive stories.
