Les survivants

A slow, meditative drift through virtual islands and lonely rooms, blurring game and reality into an eerie, contemplative haze.

Nicolas Bailleul

Overview
The film captures the meanderings and encounters of players striving to survive on an island and within the confines of their rooms. A persistent question lingers: will the rain ever arrive? The game spaces remain elusive, existing beyond the boundaries of our interactions. The interface transforms into a unique universe, a realm of worldwide social interaction reminiscent of a real-time film experience.
