Film - Save Every Breath: The Dunkirk VR Experience


Watch a new 360-degree short film which immerses the viewer in the world of Christopher Nolan’s epic action thriller Dunkirk....

Through three tightly woven sequences, the VRE offers a tantalising taste of the much-anticipated film, in which 400,000 Allied soldiers are trapped on the beach of Dunkirk, France, with their backs to the sea as the enemy closes in. 

The writer/director/producer of Dunkirk, Christopher Nolan, said, “In just a few taut moments, the ‘Dunkirk VR Experience’ provides a thrilling glimpse of the three main settings in our film in a uniquely subjective way.”

Created by Practical Magic, the VRE features specially created original content that thrusts viewers into each of the movie’s three key perspectives—land, sea and air—where they experience firsthand the race against time to survive under enemy fire. The twisting time frames of the scenes mirror the non-linear structure of the circuitous time scales in Nolan’s movie.

The virtual reality experience takes your breath away, submerging you underwater in the channel, surrounded by danger; then taking you to the skies, piloting an RAF Spitfire; and finally onto the beach, one of hundreds of thousands of trapped Allied soldiers awaiting their fate.

Matthew Lewis, the president of Practical Magic, directed and produced “Save Every Breath: The Dunkirk VR Experience.” He offered, “The world Christopher Nolan created for Dunkirk played right into the strengths of VR. It’s relentless storytelling with the enemy always a breath away. We knew exactly how we wanted to bring that into VR—to put you right there in that moment. It’s just a taste of the story you’ll see on the big screen…and Dunkirk is a film that truly must be seen on the big screen.”
