Knit’s Island
In the organizer's words:
Knit's Island
Ekiem Barbier, Guilhem Causse, Quentin L'helgoualc'h, FR 2023, 95 min, English/French OmeU
In the virtual world of the survival game "DayZ", players come together to immerse themselves in a post-apocalyptic setting. Among them are the filmmakers of 'Knit's Island'. In this film, which could almost be called an adventure movie, the virtual world reveals itself as a field of social experimentation: why do some become cannibals while others pay homage to a wolf god and join forces to garden in solidarity? So-called 'real life' only fleetingly breaks into the maelstrom of the high-resolution simulation when a player's child cries in the next room. 'Knit's Island' documents fiction-based identities and, contrary to the deadly game principle, searches for communities that want to gather around virtual campfires and explore the edges of the Internet.
