Bandersnatch (2018) is an interactive, stand-alone film from the sci-fi anthology series Black Mirror. Young game designer Stefan attempts to code a choose-your-own-adventure game, while viewers meta-cinematically choose Stefan’s adventure. The story is meta-cinematic, funny, and gruesome. It shows how being a bystander can make you complicit. "Play" it here.
Interactive cinema follows the conventions of traditional filmmaking, with the addition of “Choose Your Own Adventure” aspirations. The genre puts non-linear storytelling in the hands of the spectator, who can direct the course of the film through choices at specific intervals.
