La Vingt-Cinquième Heure was founded in 2012 with a single ambition: to explore new territories in audiovisual storytelling and to develop a production and distribution strategy for each of its projects, based on new digital tools. Its DNA is resolutely modern, with an eye on new forms of cutting-edge technology. From production to distribution, from feature films to documentaries and cross-media works.
LE HAUT FEU is an immersive memorial experience at the heart of the blast furnaces. The idea is to use 3D scans of the building to relight the blast furnaces and revive the memories of the blast furnace workers.
The whole point of the documentary narrative we are proposing is to move away from classic storytelling towards the more personal and subjective notion of ‘storyliving’. The project will take the form of a virtual reality experience immersing the viewer in the space of the blast furnaces.
