25 July 2019

It's another first for documentary filmmaker Joel Kachi Benson as his virtual reality docu-film 'Daughters of Chibok' has been selected for screening at the upcoming 76th Venice International Film Festival.

Venice International Film Festival which is the oldest film festival in the world introduced the virtual reality film competition in 2017 to celebrate and recognise films made using Virtual Reality (VR) technology. It is the first A-list film festival to toe in that path. Over 30 immersive stores were selected for In Competition and Out of Competition for this year's edition. Popularly known as Venice VR, the festival looks at linear and interactive content.
