Explore a wide range of games and web documentaries, play freely, or watch others play. In the Interactive Cinema, games and web documentaries become shared experiences. Choose from the following experiences:
 
Coded Black (Maisha Wester) is a dark, atmospheric game confronting the history of anti-Black racism across centuries. Individualism in the dead-internet age: an anti-big tech asset flip shovelware r̶a̶n̶t̶ manifesto (Nathalie Lawhead) reflects on how a once-playful internet turned into a closed, cold corporate machine. In A Ü T O / M Ö T O R, rapper Vyle (Albert Johnson) leads us through a virtual Chicago, exploring key landmarks of the city’s hip-hop scene and formative sites from his own life. In Tracing Colombia (Jan Rothuizen), the artist connects his impressions of Colombia with the country’s layered history, a personal dérive in drawings and videos. Unimaginable Red (Monique Grimord, Vitor Freire) reimagines Amsterdam’s red-light district, blending anarchist history and contemporary tensions into something entirely new: a surreal island of pleasure and protest where you’re invited to help maintain a delicate balance. Lastly, in a live performance of MILKMAN ZERO: The First Delivery, Matt Romein plays a text-based game on stage, exposing how quickly human–machine interaction can spiral into coercion and absurdity. 

Together, the selection shows how interactive documentaries can move beyond a solo-screen experience and take on new dimensions when we explore these together. Stories that unfold differently, depending how and when we step into them. 

The Interactive Cinema is part of the DocLab Exhibition, which is open throughout the festival on a pay-what-you-want basis. During DocLab Playroom: Connected Offline, the artists will be present at the Interactive Cinema for a live presentation and Q&A.
