My First Look at Interactive Documentary

‘Welcome to Pine Point’ created in 2010 is an example of a semi-closed project put together by Canadian media group The Goggles. The story mostly unfolds through the written word, as it was originally written as a book, but the documentary is a creative collage of material from and about Pine Point—a Canadian mining town that disappeared in the 1980s. The documentary revolves around memories and the objects that keep the town’s spirit alive by combining photographs, sound and video clips, interviews, music and narration.
