A VRTOV-BBC co production, this multi-award winning VR fairy tale has delighted audiences worldwide with its enchanting story, gorgeous real-time visuals and groundbreaking interactive sound.

 

The Turning Forest

BBC / VRTOV 2016

In a land that never was and a time that could never be, a child stared into the eyes of a fantastical creature. Around them, a magical forest; in front of them, a magical journey.

A hit with audiences at the Tribeca Film Festival and honoured at the Webby Awards, the Google Play Awards, the TVB Europe Awards and festivals around the world, The Turning Forest is a real-time CG VR experience for people young and old— inviting audiences into a magical space of imagination, where rustling leaves are also the footsteps of something familiar, yet strange. In this place things are not quite what they seem. Featuring award-winning interactive sound, this fairy tale in virtual reality from VRTOV and the BBC was directed by Oscar Raby and written by Shelley Silas.
Available for Gear VR and Google Daydream.
