Meet our team: Efehan Elbi

Introducing our new jury! Canadian director, animator and game designer Efehan Elbi is joining our interactive media selection committee. For the first time ever, Mirror Mountain Film Festival is accepting submissions of works that allow the audience to participate directly, including VR, explorable 360° video spaces, videogames, AR, film/video installations, net art and more. Efehan will help us choose an interactive piece that will be displayed in the festival lounge at our next edition! A playable demo of IN COLD DARK, an existential space adventure game created by Efehan and done\undone, premiered at Mirror Mountain as part of our 2019 festival. We’re thrilled to be working with them again!
