With the aid of revolutionary technology, you'll journey back in time to board the Titanic during its maiden voyage. Are you ready to explore today’s shipwreck and uncover the stories and secrets of the past through the candid lens of Titanic's official filmmaker William Harbeck? You will follow him on a breathtaking and informative journey before you meet the iceberg that sealed the ships fate that starry night.

JHAROKHA (window or balcony) is an immersive virtual reality experience produced by AniMela, with support from Bha Future Co, that invites audiences into India’s folk art traditions through embodied digital storytelling. Conceived as a threshold, the project uses immersive technology to connect folk knowledge systems with contemporary ecological concerns.

KTB Kinekomix offers a unique transmedia journey into the world of Indian folk stories, art, and music through an innovative blend of comics and animation. Using a patented interactive format, the experience places storytelling directly in the hands of the viewer. By clicking on illustrated panels, visitors can unlock cinematic sequences, watch static art come alive, and explore the richness of folklore at their own pace.

The experience is based on Krish, Trish and Baltiboy – The Marvelous Minstrel Trio, following three whimsical guides who lead audiences through Indian regional folk tales, traditional art styles, and musical traditions with wit, warmth, and charm.
