The year is 1895, and you're in a scientific lab underneath a massive flying whale. This augmented-reality-to-VR setting, developed by the 5D World Building Media Lab, is based on Scott Westerfield's best-selling trilogy, Leviathan. Participants are invited to embody flying jellyfish (called Huxleys), move freely inside the trilogy's narrative world to engage physically and emotionally with its human and animal characters, and witness a massive whale fly off the screen and into the air, above audiences at New Frontier.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
