Zoe Roellin’s VR animation “Perennials” – presented at Venice Immersive and produced by Meta – will hit the VR Animation Player next.
“It makes me very happy, because it will be available to practically everyone with a VR headset,” says the Swiss artist, based in Italy, opening up about her collaboration with Ryan Genji Thomas and Goro Fujita.
“They approached me because they liked my work with [painting and animation software] Quill and asked if I wanted to pitch a project to Meta. They thought ‘Perennials’ would be a great addition to their catalog, with it being this grounded piece directed at an older audience. I just didn’t expect it to happen so early in my career.”
Sarah Malkin and Yelena Rachitsky executive produce, while Dren McDonald is responsible for the soundtrack. Joe Zieja, Natalie Miller and David Olano round up the voice cast.

You won't see Marvel films or 'Star Wars' playing at Melbourne's Cinema Nova, something co-founder Natalie Miller jokes is "either clever or stupid, I'm not sure which". For 30 years, the Carlton cinema has carved a niche by sticking to its brand of arthouse cinema programming, and is today the largest independent cinema in the Southern Hemisphere.

Storyteller and producer Pauline Clague is the recipient of this year’s $20,000 Natalie Miller Fellowship.
Announced today at the virtual Australian Independent Distributors Association (Aida) Conference, Clague will use her fellowship to do more concentrated work on the theories she has been writing around Indigenous archetypes, structures and genres in cinema.
Upon receiving the grant, shesaid: “It is such an honour to be the recipient of the Natalie Miller Fellowship for 2020. This year has been so turbulent for our industry and so much of the arts has had a hit during this time of Covid-19.
“For me, the privilege has been in not being just a hashtag but raising the voice of Indigenous youth and communities during the Black Lives Matter and Deaths in Custody rallies.

Colin Firth in ‘The Secret Garden.’
On the reasonable assumption that cinemas are trading in July, albeit with staggered seating, audiences can look forward to a raft of Hollywood films and, perhaps, several new Australian releases.
Distributors have started scheduling titles in an orderly fashion, avoiding a logjam of product, from early July until the end of the year and beyond.
Exhibitors expect that if the 4 square metre distancing rule applies, that will limit the average capacity to around 33 per cent, which would be viable for cinemas and distributors.
Executives on both sides of the fence are confident business will rebound quickly. “I don’t think it will take long for punters to return to cinemas; people are tired of the restrictions Covid-19 has placed on their lives and there is a desire to return to normalcy,” says Studiocanal CEO Elizabeth Trotman.
“Films are still best enjoyed on a big...
