Northern Lights Dome Experience and Short Films

Join us to experience the Northern Lights and a selection of short films.

Résonances Boréales
Enjoy a breath-taking 360-degree view of the Northern Lights as you travel straight into the heart of the boreal forest.

This 360-degree show creates a visual environment in full symbiosis with Roman Zavada's piano compositions and the Northern Lights. This unique experience brings the audience straight into the heart of the boreal forest above the 60th parallel. The stunning real-time images of the aurora boralis combined with the piano performance make for an unmissable immersive experience.

Approx running time: 14 minutes

Light of Home
Light of Home is a short film designed for fulldome immersive projection spaces. Light is both the subject and the medium of this film which explores the emotional connections between light, place and memory. The story is driven by a soundtrack constructed from interviews in which people recall their experiences of light in the place where they grew up.

Approx running time: 10 mins

Thin Air
This 360-degree video was produced by Khaki TV in collaboration with Cydney Uffindell-Phillips and Toby U-P. It's a compelling story of love and loss with beautiful movement and sound.
