About this Event
Goliath: Playing with Reality
The Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best VR Immersive Work at the 78th Venice International Film Festival, Goliath: Playing with Reality, is coming to Shoreditch Town Hall this Autumn. Through mind-bending animation and heartfelt dialogue, Anagram’s latest offering explores the power of gaming communities in this true story of so-called ‘schizophrenia’. Echo (narrated by Tilda Swinton) guides small groups of participants 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, journey through the multiple worlds to uncover Goliath’s poignant story.
