The new edition of FoST puts the emphasis on French projects—the opportunity for UniFrance to support three immersive works which had their North American premieres at the event.

At the end of the event, The Horrifically Real Virtuality was awarded the Innovation in Storytelling prize by a professional jury composed of representatives of Google, Sony, and Microsoft, among others.
