V F C is a feature-length bio-feedback enhanced cinema experience. Acclaimed Inuk singer Elisapie Isaac makes her screen debut as a neuroscience researcher seeking refuge from a music-pervasive world after developing a rare form of melophobia (fear of music). Through a new multi-user adaptive audio technology, each viewer can hear a customized soundtrack generated in response to their real-time cognitive state, using an EEG headset and bone-conduction headphones. A companion web app then allows viewers to access a post-screening account of how unique their experience has been, through user-friendly data visualizations, average group results and scientific groundings.
