DocLab Playroom: Hacking Reality

Interactive Cinema

BK20231111 Doc Lab 94 1

The Interactive Cinema transforms games and web documentaries into shared experiences. Think Twitch or co-op gaming: but live, in a shared physical space, where that collective moment makes all the difference. 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.

DocLab at the Planetarium: Down to Earth

BK20231114 Doc Lab 196

Planetariums invite us to look up at the stars. But during these evenings, we will turn our gaze to the ground, exploring the myriad worlds that meet and diverge on the earth we share. Presented with ARTIS-Planetarium and co-curated with Diversion.
