On 15 January 2020, the Faculty of Creative Industries is organising a Public Lecture titled ‘Hypotheses of Interactivity for the Cinema of the Future’ by Prof. Bruno Mendes da Silva at 18:30 at USJ Room 605.
About the Talk
Based on the triad film-interactivity-experimnentation, the applied research project The Forking Paths, developed at the Centre for Research in Arts and Communication (CIAC), endeavours to find alternative narrative forms in the field of Cinema and, more specifically, in the subfield of Interactive Cinema. The films in the project The Forking Paths invest in the interconnectivity between the film narrative and the viewer, who is given the possibility to be more active and engaged. At the same time, the films undertake a research on the development of audio-visual language.
