Founded in 2016 by BNP Paribas, Fisheye and the Rencontres de la Photographie d’Arles, the VR Arles Festival immerses spectators in the world’s best virtual reality productions. After the success of the first festival, this year's event will take up residence at the Couvent Saint-Césaire in Arles for two months this summer, from 3 July to 31 August 2017, as part of the 2017 Rencontres d’Arles.

From 3 July to 31 August 2017, the Couvent Saint-Césaire will become a forum for sharing and discussing VR (Virtual Reality). The public and professionals, assisted by demonstrators, will be able to use the free headsets to discover a selection of 20 VR films in three different genres: fiction, documentary and artistic creation.
