A celebration of fulldome cinema

CULTVR is proud to host the prestigious Best of Earth Fulldome Awards, a bi-annual event that brings together the finest works from the world’s most esteemed fulldome film festivals. This global celebration of innovation and excellence in fulldome filmmaking showcases the artistry and technological advancements that define this immersive medium.

The Best of Earth Fulldome Awards represents a unique collaboration among the industry’s most respected festivals, including FullDome Festival (Jena, Germany), Dome Fest West (Los Angeles, USA), Fulldome UK Festival (UK), Dome Under Festival (Melbourne, Australia), SAT Fest (Montréal, Canada), and Fulldome Festival Brno (Brno, Czechia).

"The Best of Earth Awards represents an unprecedented unity in the fulldome community," says Ryan Moore, Executive Director of Dome Fest West. "By bringing together the world's leading fulldome festivals, we're not just showcasing films – we're creating a global platform that elevates the entire medium and celebrates the innovative storytellers who are pushing its boundaries."

Previously hosted at the Stiftung Planetarium Berlin in 2023 and 2021, the 2025 ceremony will take place at CULTVR on the 25th of March at 8pm. The event will also be live streamed in partnership with all the international fulldome festivals.

In advance of the award ceremony, audiences can experience a selection of nominated fulldome films in four exclusive immersive screenings at CULTVR. This is a unique opportunity to witness some of the best fulldome films produced in the last two years. These sessions offer a rare opportunity to experience fulldome films that are typically not available to watch in the UK. Audiences will explore the uncharted expanses of earth and space and innovative artistic works, all within an immersive cinematic format.

CULTVR is the only venue in the world presenting these special screenings ahead of the Best of Earth Awards Ceremony. This ceremony marks a significant milestone for the immersive cinema industry and will bring together filmmakers, industry professionals and immersive media enthusiasts to celebrate the achievements in fulldome storytelling.
