Fort McMoney
DocLab will host the world premiere of Fort McMoney, a trilingual (English, French and German) interactive documentary game about the issues facing Fort McMurray, Alberta, a fast-growing community where, every day, more than a million and a half barrels of oil are extracted. Fort McMurray is at the centre of Canada’s economic growth, thanks to its location in the heart of the oil sands, the world’s largest energy project. The film project allows users to immerse themselves in the town’s environmental, social, cultural, economic and political concerns. By meeting citizens and key players in Fort McMurray’s development, users can, among other things, participate in major debates leading to referendums whose outcomes—determined collectively by the players—influence the direction of the game for everyone. Participants find themselves taking part in a striking interactive experience that brings to life complex and very real dilemmas.
Launching online 25 November, the doc is created by David Dufresne and produced by Philippe Lamarre and Raphaëlle Huysmans (TOXA) and Hugues Sweeney and Dominique Willieme for the NFB, in association with ARTE.
