The interactive film «Neblina» is being produced within the scope of the project «The paths that bifurcate», located at the Center for Research in Arts and Communication (CIAC), at the University of Algarve.
With an essentially practical nature, the project is part of the post-doctoral research of the researcher Bruno Mendes da Silva, current director of the Communication Sciences course at UAlg.
Bruno Silva thus intends to continue the research started in his doctoral thesis entitled «Eternal Present», time in contemporaneity, which resulted in the publication of the book «The encravada machine, the question of time in the relations between cinema, comics and contemporaneity» (2010).
The realization of this interactive narrative, which will be available for different devices, such as tablets, smartphones, computers and conventional movie theaters, seeks to reconfigure the experience of the movie spectator.
It is intended that this project its own identity on the protagonist of the action, becoming the spectator-protagonist.
For this purpose, an application that divides the narrative visualization into three image streams will be available on the web. In this way, it offers the possibility of being the spectator to choose his own path within the story, as the protagonist.
The project aims to establish a new relationship between the audience and the work, where the distance between genres and between reality and fiction will tend to disappear.
