Film Threat 2008 SXSW Guide

Boldly pushing storytelling into the realm of digital interactivity, this unique film allows the viewer to control the flow of the story with the click of a button. Late Fragment's multi-plot, non-linear and interactive narrative lets audiences discover the stories of three strangers. A young mother grappling with loss, a man reconnecting with his troubled son, and a male stripper facing his past -- Faye (Krista Bridges), Kevin (Michael Healy) and Theo (Jeff Parrazo) are drawn together as participants in a restorative justice process, where victims and offenders share their stories. Written and directed by three different directors (Anita Doron, Daryl Cloran, and Matéo Guez), the stories intertwine according to the viewer's guidance, on a path to either redemption, reconciliation, or revenge. An illuminating and groundbreaking experiment produced by the Canadian Film Centre's Media Lab and the National Film Board of Canada, Late Fragment is an interactive film that addresses a new language for filmmaking in the 21st century.
