THE TRUE FILM

Cinematic VR experience (interactive) – in development, 2025

THE TRUE FILM is an interactive virtual reality experience that explores the lives of film philosopher Siegfried Kracauer and his wife Elisabeth. Based on their archival legacy, the project offers a vivid look at the couple during the Cold War. Their friendships and intellectual work reveal how they balanced a passionate search for truth with the challenges of gaining recognition in a time of political tension and constant surveillance.
THE TRUE FILM immerses its audience in the Kracauers’ story, offering a powerful exploration of creativity, exile, and resilience in a divided world.
