VTFF

The Vancouver Turkish Film Festival sought to revolutionize its approach to audience interaction. With static materials often unable to convey the dynamic nature of the event, the festival wanted to explore how AR technology could transform it into a truly augmented reality film festival. The challenge was to create an app that could connect audiences to the films and simplify their journey from discovery to ticket purchase.

Stambol Studios developed the VTFF AR App to enhance the interactive film festival experience. By combining augmented reality with event materials, the app allowed users to:

• Access trailers by scanning posters and brochures.
• Explore detailed film information, including synopses and cast.
• Purchase tickets directly through the app.

This app was a prime example of how augmented reality film festivals can merge digital innovation with traditional storytelling to create a more immersive experience.

Augmented Event Materials: Posters and brochures became dynamic tools for engaging audiences, aligning perfectly with the augmented reality film festival concept.

• AR Materials: Posters became interactive with trailers and details.
• Interactive Trailers: Enhanced audience engagement.
• Integrated Ticketing: Simplified purchases in-app.
• User-Friendly Design: Accessible for all audiences.

The VTFF AR App successfully brought the augmented reality film festival concept to life and delivered remarkable results:

Higher Ticket Sales: Increased through in-app purchases.
Improved Engagement: Audiences connected via AR features.
Positive Feedback: Praised for blending tech with storytelling.
