A female Neuroscience Researcher develops a rare form of melophobia
after receiving an unsolicited portable media player loaded with music for testing in her laboratory and experiencing a musical Stendhal Syndrome. Witnessing her colleagues' strangely changing behavior over repeated exposure to the same piece of music, she flees to find shelter from the pervasive sounds of music in her environment and an increasingly frightening world.
VFC is a hybrid experience, combining traditional filmmaking and augmented reality technologies. The in-theatre screenings offer each viewer a personalized soundtrack reflecting their cognitive state in real time, via an EEG (electroencephalogram) headset and bone conducting headphones.
