Course Site for Future Cinema 1 (and sometimes Future Cinema 2: Applied Theory) at York University, Canada
Natalie and I had a great conversation about creating narratives using existing interfaces of devices and taking advantage of the limitations of these technologies to create interactive stories. This reminded me of a short film “Noah” that premiered at TIFF last year. While it is not interactive, it is set exclusively within the protagonist’s view of his OS. Take a look:

This course examines the shift from traditional cinematic spectacle to works probing the frontiers of interactive, performative, and networked media. Drawing upon a broad range of scholarship, including film theory, communication studies, cultural studies and new media theory, the course will consider how digital technologies are transforming the semiotic fabric of contemporary visual culture. Our focus will be on the phenomenon Gene Youngblood described three decades ago as expanded cinema an explosion of the frame outward towards immersive, interactive and interconnected (i.e., environmental) forms of culture.
