Cross-media mixed-reality event live from movie theatre Kriterion (Amsterdam) and Virtual Holland (Second Life) and Ystreams.TV (web)

On Thursday June 17th  there will be a unique event for the Netherlands movie premiere of “RU There” at the kriterion Cinema in Amsterdam and simultaniously online.

“RU There was selected for the Cannes Film Festival. “R U There” tells the story of Jitze (20), a professional gamer who travels around the world to compete in video game tournaments. During a stay in Taipei he unexpectedly witnesses an accident which resembles those he re-enacts in his video games on a day to day basis; this confronts him with his own mortality and his world is suddenly shaken by reality, in a violent way. He meets an intriguing Taiwanese woman in the hotel bar where he is staying, never quite figuring out whether she is an escort, masseuse or bettle nut girl. He tries to get close to her but only manages to do so in the virtual world, on Second Life which they both visit.

The event is organised by Eye Films Nederland in cooperation with movie theatre Kriterion, Linden Lab ( Second Life ), Ystreams.TV and MetaMeets. With special thanks too Planetart and Meta.Live.Nu.

In line with the story line in the movie the event will take place simultaneously:
