The 10th edition of Montreal's SAT Fest kicks off on March 8 with 48 immersive short films by artists from around the world.
Participants get to take in all the visuals from the floor of the Satosphère, the Société des arts technologiques' 360-degree, 13-metre high, 157-speaker dome theatre in downtown Montreal.
This year, the SAT promises a wide range of genres and experiences among festival submissions: "from graphic and narrative works, to musical, contemplative, strange or socially conscious productions."
SAT Fest will take place across five days, through March 12, with one-hour screenings consisting of about 10 two to 10-minute films, the society says.
A jury of "immersion artists and specialists" will present awards on the final night of the festival.
