"Kinoautomat" is the world’s first interactive film - a black comedy satire on democracy - whose plot and story are determined by the audience. A naked woman, an apartment building in flames, a car chase, and it’s always up to you what happens next! The action stops at nine points, and the audience has to choose between two scenes; following the vote, the chosen scene is played. The film, made in 1967 in Czechoslovakia, has since been screened exclusively only a handful of times, and has attracted thousands of excited spectators. The film will be screened in Riga twice as part of the Riga International Short Film Festival 2ANNAS.
