Made with Amaury La Burthe and other key collaborators on MIFF 2016’s Notes on Blindness: Into Darkness, Unrest VR is an expansion piece to Jennifer Brea’s feature documentary of the same name, also screening at MIFF 2017.

Unrest VR is an immersive journey into Jen’s experience of an invisible illness: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, otherwise known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Contrasting the painful solitary confinement of a bedroom world with the kinetic freedom of an inner dreamscape, it asks you to consider where you go when you’re too sick to leave your bed?
