Section in the frame of Verzió International Human Rights Film Festival

Place: Galeria Centralis, Budapest, Hungary

Now in its sixth edition, Vektor expands its scope to a wider range of immersive formats — from VR to AR, MR, spatial video, and installation-based works — inviting audiences to reflect on how we inhabit, remember, and interact with personal and collective realities in digital space.

This year’s curatorial theme focuses on “trace”: digital, emotional, political, spatial, or ecological. What remains after immersion ends? How do these experiences leave marks on memory, bodies, and places? Can presence itself be impact, or does its afterlife shape our sociocultural environment? Vektor seeks works that explore these questions, opening critical perspectives on immersion, connection, and absence.

Vektor continues to evolve as a dedicated curatorial space for immersive storytelling in Central Europe, embedded within the Verzió Film Festival. Through a co-curation model with partners from all four V4 countries — this year deepening ties with Slovakia and Poland alongside ongoing collaborations in the Czech Republic — the programme ensures balanced regional representation and local engagement.

The event also integrates emerging critics from the region, who contribute reviews in local languages, expanding discourse and visibility for immersive media beyond standard channels. In the long term, this layered model strengthens cross-border cultural infrastructure and fosters a more interconnected immersive media ecosystem across the Visegrad region.
