Makropol

Stepping inside Makropol is like entering a kaleidoscope. A world where cinema, technology, and art collide. Makropol isn’t just a studio; it’s a crucible of creativity. Founded by Mads Damsbo and Johan Knattrup Jensen, two film school graduates with a shared vision, Makropol has become synonymous with innovation. Located in Copenhagen, this award-winning studio pushes the boundaries of storytelling. Their work transcends traditional media, blending virtual reality, live performance, and installation art into breathtaking experiences. From the haunting narrative of “Mother’s Ghost,” where an unborn child experiences her mother’s nightmares, to the interactive “Doom Room,” a guided meditation through death and the afterlife, Makropol’s work is both thought-provoking and visceral. They’ve even tackled classical music in virtual reality with “Open Orchestra VR,” a project that pushes the boundaries of how we experience music. Makropol’s reach extends far beyond Denmark. Their work has graced prestigious venues like the Cannes Film Festival, the New York Film Festival, and even Google Lab in Paris. Their “Shared Individual” performance uses VR to teleport a large audience into the perspective of a single person on stage, blurring the lines between performer and observer. Makropol is more than just a studio; it’s a portal to new worlds. A space where technology and art intertwine to create unforgettable experiences.
