Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg · Sep 11, 2026
Enter a calm and unfamiliar world, lying dormant as you arrive. As you explore its surroundings, the world gradually opens up, revealing its light. The more you engage with it, the more you become enveloped in a soothing yet lively awakening, full of surprises.
About lichtung
lichtung is a 12-minute VR experience about light, perception, and quiet discovery. You find yourself in a dark forest only equipped with a flashlight in your hand. What you choose to illuminate slowly comes to life: drifting pollen, floating mushroom creatures, subtle movements in the trees. The forest reveals itself through your curiosity. The world combines hand-drawn 2D animated creatures with a spatial 3D forest environment. The black-and-white forest gradually transforms as you explore. An evolving spatial soundscape accompanies your journey, growing richer as the world awakens around you.
