Abstract

Even though the film is a passive medium and despite the obstacles of creative, technical and financial nature, experimenting with the interactivity started half a century ago. The audience was gradually enabled to choose alternative outcomes, influence the development of characters, and even co-create the content. This work follows the evolution of interactivity in cinema, television, home video, internet and video installation through four periods: analogue, digital, simulation and emulation. It also reviews the potential of symbiotic link between film and the audience.
