This is enactive cinema.
The Enactive Cinema project introduces a novel kind of interactive cinema genre, which is described as enactive cinema: How the narrative unfolds, and how rhythm and soundscape emerge, depend on how the spectator experiences the emotional dynamics between the characters. Enactive cinema emphasizes unconscious interaction between the cinema spectator and the cinema. Instead of the spectator directly manipulating the narrative, its unfolding is affected by the spectator's emotional participation.The project suggests that unconscious and conscious experience interact in an inseparable and complex manner. The cinema experience is more than seeing and hearing. It is about sensing and re-living of one’s own experience in what happens to the “others” – This is, ENACTIVE CINEMA.
The team has developed new tools for managing and editing cinematic material, this, in order to emphasize the multidimensionality of the emotional content in the narrative imagery. In the core of enactive cinema project Obsession (2003, 2005, 2006) a kind of Eisensteinian 'montage-machine' is in work. The ”montage-machine” is based on a narrative logic that matches cinematic content with spectators’ psycho-physiological states. Thus the spectator’s emotional experiences have effects on the narrative, constituting an ecological circuit of continuous interaction with the spectator and the narrative space.
As a winner of the Prix Möbius Nordica 2006 Interactive Storytelling (Le Prix de la Scénarisation interactive) Enactive Cinema Project Obsession will participate in the international competition PRIX MÖBIUS INTERNATIONAL in Canada, Montréal, in Oct 13-15, 2006.
