Electric Dreams: Goliath: Playing with Reality
Created by Anagram and winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best VR Immersive Work at the 78th Venice International Film Festival. Goliath is a 25-minute animated VR experience about schizophrenia, gaming and connection, narrated by Tilda Swinton.
Through mind-bending animation, award-winning GOLIATH: PLAYING WITH REALITY explores the limits of reality in this true story of so-called ‘schizophrenia’ and the power of gaming communities. Echo (narrated by Tilda Swinton) guides you through the many realities of Goliath, a man who spent years isolated in psychiatric institutions but finds connection in multiplayer games. Combining heart-felt dialogue, mesmerising visuals and symbolic interactions, weave through multiple worlds to uncover Goliath's poignant story.
