NubianVR presents PANDORA, an experimental 360-degree short film made in Ghana. Follow Pandora as she journeys through the dreamscape of virtual Accra, where the ancient Greek myth is re-imagined in an African context and retold through the looking-glass of virtual reality. This film was recorded in various locations within Accra, Tema, and Aburi using a dual Kodak SP360 rig. An earlier cut was first screened for a virtual reality exhibition at the 2015 CHALE WOTE Street Art Festival in Jamestown, Accra. This was only our first attempt at producing a 360 degree film.
