About Goliath: Playing with Reality

WINNER of the Grand Jury Prize for Best VR Immersive Work at the 78th Venice International Film Festival.

Through mind-bending animation, award-winning GOLIATH: PLAYING WITH REALITY explores the limits of reality and a true story of so-called ‘schizophrenia’ and the power of gaming communities.
Echo (narrated by 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 heartfelt dialogue, mesmerising visuals and symbolic interactions, weave through multiple worlds to uncover Goliath’s poignant story.

Created by the award-winning creative studio Anagram, the team that brought you The Collider and Door into the Dark.
