Projects selected for the InfiniTIFF Incubator

11 projects were selected this year for the InfiniTIFF program dedicated to artists, entrepreneurs, creatives, and cultural operators working in new —VR, AR, XR, and interactive — media.

During the July 27-28 TIFF industry events, participants will attend a training led by Peter Barta, who created The Long Run Method, an entrepreneurship education and training program.
