Devonport: A Tide of Memories

Fresh from its positive reception at Dazzle – Devonport’s festival of light, creativity and heritage – we are delighted to programme these free screenings of A Tide of Memories.

This 360 immersive experience invites you to explore the rich history of Devonport, focusing on three iconic landmarks: Market Hall and its Clock Tower, Devonport Column, and Devonport Guildhall. Using a blend of game development tools, 360 drone footage, immersive audio and traditional film techniques, the documentary chronicles Devonport’s formation, evolution, and the challenges it has faced over the years.

Key moments include its integration into Plymouth, the devastating impact of WWII, and ongoing regeneration efforts in the 21st century. Featuring contributions from students at City College Plymouth to musicians and filmmakers, the film is produced by Five29, merging innovative technology with compelling storytelling to offer an engaging look into Devonport’s past and future.

Running time: 19 minutes

Alongside A Tide of Memories you will also get a chance to see a preview of a brand new 360 immersive film all about HMNB Devonport.

Devonport is home to the largest naval base in Western Europe but it is largely hidden. Real Immersive is working with HMNB Devonport to make a 360 experience that uncovers the rich history, cutting-edge technology, and diverse career opportunities the base offers.

Running time: 4 minutes
