Gymnasia invites viewers to penetrate the silence of an abandoned school and to enter a space where visions of a lost childhood await. The immersive experience is reminiscent of the sensory world of childhood through the sounds of playgrounds, school classes and choir recitals. The fruit of a collaboration between Felix & Paul Studios, the National Film Board of Canada and Clyde Henry Productions, this six-minute-long cinematic experience in virtual reality perfectly combines 360-degree 3D video with stop-motion, miniatures and computer-generated imagery (CGI).
