F-O-R-M, along with Emily Carr University’s New Media + Sound Art program and Basically Good Media Lab, are thrilled to present Simran Sachar’s ‘The Edge of the Underworld’ as part of our 9th annual festival!

Join us for the film premiere and a look at the unfolding creative process of an emerging artist and their collaborators navigating XR technology.

The Edge of the Underworld is an experimental dance film blending 3D animation, volumetric film, and digital cinema to explore a journey through alcohol-induced chaos. Capturing fragmented memories, unfaithful encounters, and the descent into a dark, subterranean realm.
