360° Immersive Movie

Opening July 24

You step into a planetarium dome. The lights dim. The air shifts. The ceiling becomes the sky — but not one you’ve ever seen. A 360° world opens around you. It breathes, moves, pulses with color. You’re not watching a screen — you’re inside one. Surrounded by a soundscape so immersive it doesn’t just fill the room; it seems to respond to it.

Vision for Tomorrow is 54-minute visual journey through movement, sensation, and possibility. It’s cinematic, yes—but also sensorial, poetic, and deeply transportive.

This is what happens when art, technology, and storytelling grow up together. This is what immersive cinema was always meant to be.
