UXdoc is back!

UXdoc is back this year, and we’re thrilled to announce the 7 works that will be featured in the exhibition.
Blending documentary and fiction, the creators use cutting-edge technologies to explore new ways of storytelling rooted in reality

Developed in collaboration with Myriam Achard (PHI), this program is made possible with the support of the Consulate General of France in Québec and the Institut français, as part of Novembre Numérique. We warmly thank MUTEK for providing technological equipment and logistical support.
