After premiering out of South by Southwest and playing Venice Immersive, “Stay Alive, My Son” showcased at this week’s NewImages Festival in Paris and was recently selected for Annecy’s VR competition in June.
Threading a personal narrative through evocations of wider historical atrocity, the project has also made an impact beyond the XR festival circuit, and was invited by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees to screen for diplomats, NGO bigwigs and heads of state in a bid to shape global policy. “From my own experience as a lawyer, I know how files can build on top of files,” says Bousis.
“That can only lead to a growing desensitization, as you become further removed, forgetting that these files aren’t just filled with words — they represent human beings and real, lived experiences.” Bousis studied up ahead of her U.N. presentation, learning of the key elements that prevent most refugee reunifications before deploying her project to spur positive action.
