We’ve unlocked another back-to-back feature: BAD TALES, featuring Cris Obermann and Kelly Rabbachin
Another wild juxtaposition: Cris Ubermann, a prolific French experimental filmmaker fascinated by philosophy and psychology, uses Grand Theft Auto V to adapt a fable by Jean De La Fontaine, “The wolf and the dog”. Meanwhile, Kelly Rabbachin — a first-time machinimaker and recent graduate from Milan, Italy — appropriated the same game along with The Sims 4 to remake Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. These wild experiments in filmmaking should come as no surprise: after all, video games are the folk tales of the digital generation. What’s the moral of this story? As William Gibson famously said, “The street finds its uses for things”.
