GOLIATH: PLAYING WITH REALITY

  • France 🇫🇷
  • United Kingdom 🇬🇧
  • United States of America 🇺🇸
2021
25 min.

“The Universe is revolving around me in a bad way.”

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 Academy Award-winning actress 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.
