Kidnapped in Vostok

Brrr! A freezing cold wakes you up and your eyes are slowly opening on a huge storage building. But where are you?! And why are you tied to a toboggan?! And this man who comes closer to ask you if you are comfortable, is he kidding you?! Anyways, except from nodding, you can't really do anything...

Kidnapped in Vostok is a VR animated short realised by the indie studio Les Astronautes. Funny and interactive, you'll enjoy this 15 minutes long adventure as much as you'll be enchanted by its amazing graphics!



Welcome to Vostok, the most remote place in the world with scientific research stations in the middle of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. This is one of the only places to observe changes in the Earth's magnetosphere. And one of the best places for mischief…

Bum bum bumm….



With a record low of negative 128 F° it’s easy to understand how someone might get brain freeze… and snap ! One moment in your office, the next you’ll find yourself tied to a toboggan with only your head nodding to communicate… What could go wrong?!
Only everything.

Strap on your headset and dive into this animated short from the imagination of French indie studio Les Astronautes. Perfect for a laugh, to appreciate the art of VR animation, share with family and friends, or just support an immersive film :)

Kidnapped in Vostok was presented for the first time at the Animation Movie Festival of Annecy in 2022.
