PiXii Festival

An immersive festival in the heart of La Rochelle

Immersive experiences unlock new forms of interaction and new ways to engage audiences deeper with compelling content and new technologies. PiXii Festival steps firmly into this dimension of storytelling and offers the newest and greatest immersive experiences to industry professionals and the general public that are both eager for innovation and discovery.
 
Since 2017, PiXii Festival gathers global content creators, innovative tech studios & companies, and cultural decision-makers, and provides a dynamic space to help them expand opportunities, networks, and collaborations within the cultural and creative industries.

Thanks to its synergy with Sunny Side of the Doc’s marketplace, PiXii Festival manages to bring XR projects and their creators in front of more media, potential co-production partners, distributors, and investors. Its programme includes specific on-site and / or online roundtables, matchmaking and case studies based on immersive experiences, with a spotlight on content exhibited at PiXii Festival.
