Institute History
Description
Innovators in non-fiction storytelling, Rockstar Games designer Navid Khonsari and Vassiliki Khonsari give us this breakthrough interactive historical documentary that places the player inside the action of the Iranian Revolution. Using actual audio testimonials, a real-world soundscape, and multiple touchscreen gameplay, 1979 Revolution: Black Friday is the first of a nine-episode game designed to integrate an emotional, historically true narrative while giving players the experience of making moral choices under extreme situations as they navigate the streets of an uprising.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
