Interactive film of the now.

The speed with which interactive film-making is evolving is just mind boggling. Not only in terms of content and engagement, but aesthetics too. For the first time we are seeing genuine works of art.

The latest is "Sufferrossa" by Polish writer/director Dawid Marcinkowski. It is a classy, smart, witty noir-thriller in which you assume the role of a detective who is tracking down a missing girl. The direction of the film is in your hands, well fingers actually.

Ted Denis offers his smart take. While being enthusiastic about the emergence of this new generation of interactive films, he makes a great point about the viability of non-commercial projects like "Sufferrossa".

Without becoming branded forms of entertainment or enteractivity they risk becoming victims of very limited opportunities for distribution and audience engagement. Something to ponder, but first enjoy the movie.
