The Dead Sea Scrolls - LIVE!
The World's First Cinema-to-Museum Tour
Dead Sea Scrolls Chief Curator Dr. Roitman leads a tour
from inside the Shrine of the Book at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem
For the first time, a museum curator was able to lead a live, interactive museum tour from inside a museum overseas to a cinema audience across the globe. This tour was a 'group-to-group parlay' where multiple audiences participated together in real time, on a cinematic scale. This 2way cinema-to-museum tour inter-connected 350 students in a movie theatre in Los Angeles, California with the Shrine of the Book at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.
‘Avanti’ stands for the Advanced Video & Audio Networked Theatre Initiative.
Avanti harnesses next-generation theatrical technologies to interconnect large groups on a cinematic scale across the globe, live.
Large groups can see and hear one another via a real-time bridge.
Together, their shared participation creates meaningful engagement and builds community that spans the globe.
