Interactivity and Narrativity in Screen Media

Introduces new ways of computer mediated human-human interaction via real-time interactive screen media productions, based on a generic computational model. Four productions illustrate the potential of the model. They have been developed as collaborations between universities and national broadcasters in different European countries. One is a dramatic production, Accidental Lovers, broadcast 12 times on TV1 of the Finnish National Broadcaster and watched by 20% of the overall population of Finland. It received a nomination at the BANFF World TV Festival in 2007 and has been invited to participate in the Emmy awards competition in Cannes 2008.
