Canadian producers C.S. Roy and Stéphanie Morissette have unveiled a first look at “V F C,” an adaptive feature project blending traditional filmmaking with biofeedback audio technology.
The project marks C.S. Roy’s directorial debut and stars Elisapie Isaac, the Inuk singer-songwriter, as a female neuroscientist who develops a rare form of melophobia after experiencing a musical Stendhal Syndrome. Witnessing her colleagues strangely changing behaviour over repeated exposure with the same piece of music, she flees and tries to find shelter away from a pervasive, music-filled environment.
“V F C,” both an arthouse horror movie and an augmented reality experience, allows each viewer to hear a customized soundtrack and musical score based on real-time biofeedback through a pair of Eeg (electroencephalogram) headsets and headphones.
Along Isaac, “V F C” stars Etienne Lou, Matthew Kabwe, and newcomer Ambica Sharma. The film shot in Montreal and the Eastern Townships in Quebec in April.
