Real

Real

83' 2024
dir.: Adele Tulli

What do we use virtual reality for? A breathtaking journey through the nooks and crannies of the digital world.

Where does reality end? As the virtual world continues to merge with the real world, it's becoming more and more difficult to find a clear answer. Adele Tulli, whose documentary debut "365 without 377" was part of the 2011 WATCH DOCS program, returns with a film that defies easy classification. "Real" is a breathtaking journey through kaleidoscopically shifting digital realities. For some, it’s an oasis of freedom, a space where they explore their fantasies free from intolerance, societal pressures, and expectations. For others, it’s a terrifying hell of addiction. Still others see it as a global stage to showcase their talents—and profit from them. The director masterfully weaves together various threads, techniques, and conventions, presenting a wide array of digital innovations that challenge how we perceive the world and confront us with new dilemmas.
