Submarine ChannelHow come France is the undisputed gold medallist of le web documentaire? In the past 2 days, they’ve spouted not one but two corkers: Le Challenge and Havana-Miami. Applying two very different approaches (visually and interface-wise), the former is an interactive investigation that maxes out on the “choose-your-own-adventure” possibilities of non-linear storytelling, while the latter gets wiggidy wild with the immediacy of our old friend the World Wide Web. Our balls of crystal predict a brilliant 2010 for web docs from France and beyond. Btw France, if you’re listening, please sort out your subtitling – this is INTERNET broadcasting, not national television (you know who you are). Merci! x
