For the 25th year of the local festival Cinémental the organizers wanted to do something special. The festival has been an important part of both the french and film communities in Winnipeg for the last 25 years so it deserved something special. To build something amazing Bit Space teamed up with our creative friends at Zenfri, one of Winnipeg’s leading creative firms. What we built was a festival application that uses augmented reality to both promote the festival and teach the vibrant history behind it.
