This exciting new genre in filmmaking enables audiences to control the film’s narrative. In this workshop Artist, Academic and Director Dr Richard Ramchurn will share the workings of his interactive films. The workshop will consist of an introduction to tools which can be used to create interactive film and a practical session on software you can use to broadcast live artistic events from your home.
