A Korsakow film is a web platform that links, through keywords, video clips assembled in a database and a resulting non-linear interactive film. These components (video or image) or ‘single narrative units’ (SNU) are sequenced partly by the filmmaker, through first choosing the original clips to be included and later by the keywords assigned, and partly by the viewer who makes narrative choices by selecting clips during viewing. Depending on the keywords, the overall narrative can be situated anywhere along a continuum from totally random to linear.
