Screenlife is an emerging storytelling style developed in response to the proliferation of modern screen technology and mobile devices. In a Screenlife film, audiences see the action play out on the computers, tablets and smartphones used by the characters. It's a format that's provided unique narrative possibilities in a number of recent releases, including the innovative found-footage horror Unfriended and the Sundance award-winning thriller Searching. And we can expect to see more of it soon: Universal Pictures have recently signed a five-film deal with the format's pioneer, Timur Bekmambetov.
We're partnering with Screenlife Liverpool to introduce Northern filmmakers to the Screenlife style and are excited to welcome Timur himself for an online conversation from 4pm on Monday, 17 August. Timur will discuss the inception and development of Screenlife, the technology behind it and how filmmakers can use it in their upcoming projects.
