takila milaythina-ti 
A film by Dave mangenner Gough and Darryl Rogers. Music by Ian Chia.  

This immersive VR feature invites you to experience the spirit imprinted in country, as the Palawa community of Northern Tasmania shares their timeless stories of sunrise, fire, hunt, collect, sunset, feed, story, ceremony, and dance. It offers a cultural immersion from day to night and back again, capturing the essence of these moments. As you watch, you’ll feel deeply connected to the heart of the country, enveloped in its rich traditions and stories. 

Ten Days on the Island in association with Atamira Dance Company presents 

TOMO VR  
Choreographed and co-edited by Gabrielle Thomas (Kāi Tahu, Te Atiawa ki te Tau Ihu) alongside VR filmmaker Ed Davis  

Sit down, relax, and be immersed within an extraordinary performance by Aotearoa/New Zealand’s leading Māori contemporary dance company.  

TOMO VR is a unique and moving Virtual Reality experience capturing the dream space with a haunting tale of life and death.  

Viewers will find themselves in a cavern of endless time, a world within a world, watching twin spirits – one travelling to the world of the living, the other transcending to the embracing arms of Hine Nui Te Pō, the Māori goddess of death. 

TOMO VR produced Atamira
