Constraint, cruelty and conversation

Abstract

Focusing on the Danish film The Five Obstructions, this essay stresses the interaction between game studies and film theory.I argue that the production of the film is organized as a competitive, constraint-based game. This approach provides a way to reconsider the direction of film studies and film production at the dawn of the digital era.
