Swatted
Ismaël Joffroy Chandoutis
Online players describe their struggles with "swatting", a life-threatening cyber-harassment phenomenon that looms over them whenever they play. The events take shape through YouTube videos and wireframe images from a video game.
“To make a film where action takes shape in the flow of the Internet, is to be open to all possible staging. It is the advantage of being able to create without camera and without shooting. The story was thus constructed directly in the editing, from different image regimes: interviews, videos found on the web, different game streams video... etc.
I also used a video game to generate an abstract space that is both a mental landscape and the narrative epicenter of the film.” – Ismaël J. Chandoutis
