Somewhere on the internet is a land where communities pretend to live out a survivalist fiction. The avatars of the directors of Knit’s Island spent 963 hours there, creating a fascinating film resulting from their encounter with these communities. The “players” reveal their fears and fantasies, in an at times unsettling blurring of the real and the virtual.
Avis de la communauté (1)
[VdR '23] Through an incursion into the virtual world created by the multiplayer game DayZ, which consists of surviving in a world inhabited by zombies, the directors try to show the community ties that are built in this world, but it ends up transmitting a discomfort for a humanity that seems to free itself in fictitious worlds in the face of daily reality. The film doesn't always have interesting things to say, and sometimes falls into banal conversations, but it reflects disturbing situations and shows groups that make violence an exhibition of the frustrations caused by their own reality.
