Under the ice, where human law ends, another dimension awaits.
An escaped convict flees into the Icelandic highlands with his two accomplices. When the others mysteriously vanish overnight, a glowing light draws the fugitive into an otherworldly portal.
Iceland's first narrative VR film transforms a heist thriller into an ethereal encounter with Icelandic mythology. Motion-captured aerial circus artists embody elemental spirits in a wordless, musical journey that moves from the harsh surveillance of prison life to nature's fluid harmony. Fallax truly embodies Imagine's Rites of Passage theme: the fugitive's desperate escape becomes a crossing from the world of human law to the liminal space of Iceland’s huldufólk (hidden people), where encountering your doppelganger marks the ultimate transformation. Through its distinctive art direction, this piece imagines the Icelandic landscape as thousands of shimmering polygons, creating a hypnotic refuge that will leave you mesmerised.
