There's more to a festival than who played and how good they were. The crowd, the venue, the overall mood, that all-important thing we refer to as "the vibe"—these are just some of the factors that make a festival truly memorable. Because in the end, what we're looking for at these things isn't just a good weekend out, but something genuinely transcendent—an experience that briefly takes you out of yourself and, ideally, stays with you for the rest of your life. Good festivals will suck you into a state of mind that exists only for those few days.

Inside is a film series that aims to capture some of that magic. With a first-person perspective of the action, combined with footage of choice performances, we hope to catch at least a fraction of the atmosphere at these singular events.

Helsinki's Flow Festival is the star of the latest Inside, which is also our first-ever 360 film. Produced in partnership with MelodyVR, the film offers a lifelike sense of being at this unique Finnish festival. You'll experience performances standing right alongside the artists on stage; away from the music, you'll soak up the atmosphere and explore the festival site in a way that's impossible in standard film.
