Otherzone
is a short film based around ideas of speculative sci-fi, cyber-culture
and techno-visions of a dystopian future. Written and directed by David
Cox, it incorporates David's ideas along these lines and issues, culminating
in a rhetorical/allegorical narrative.
The
film also experiments with contracted narrative form as inspired by
computer games (a theoretical area in which David works and researches).
Added to this is his early tests of how to intergrate computer imagery
and computer generated sequences into a filmed environment.
Otherzone
premiered at the 47th Melbourne International Film Festival, 1997.
