Korsakow Film

It is my very first time to hear about Korsakow film, a production of non-linear films. I learnt more about it from this YouTube video which explains how Korsakow works.

Korsakow film is interesting. Unlike the normal kinds of films, K-films are not the same every time I look at it.  There are some suggestions to the next clips to be shown, as I get an option to find certain connection with he previous clip I watch. I wonder if the clips I have not picked up will appear as the end of the K-film. Watching K-films offer me another experience to look at things in another order that I never think of. This way of storytelling is quite impressive; that relies on viewers to make the given sources meaningful.

I also found this K- film “Love Story Project” by Florian Thalhofer, the inventor of Korsakow system, and Mahmoud Hamdy, an Egyptian artist and graphic designer. It is an on-going  project. They started this K-film with people from Berlin and Cairo discussing love; then occasionally added in more people from other places like Singapore, Ireland, Israel and the States. By clicking to another footage according to my choice, I found this collection of loves stories from all over the world somehow so appealing.
