Circa 1948 is a groundbreaking and immersive interactive storyworld co-created by the National Film Board of Canada‘s award-winning Digital Studio in Vancouver and internationally acclaimed artist Stan Douglas. This expansive artistic universe has been developed in two primary interactive formats: a 3D art app for iPad and iPhone, and a projection-mapped installation.
Circa 1948 is a bold extension of Stan Douglas’s historically based recombinant storytelling into the interactive world. The experimental nature of Circa 1948 is an attempt to evolve a new visual and narrative language, with the project making use of emerging technologies to offer multiple entry points into an imagined world, created using photorealistic 3D illustrations based on Douglas’s extensive historical research.Circa 1948 takes audiences on a nonlinear journey of discovery through two vibrant communities struggling in a time of unforgiving change: an old hotel in Vancouver’s affluent West Side, squatted by homeless war veterans, or the muddy streets of the ethnically diverse Hogan’s Alley in the working-class East Side, populated by racial minorities, gamblers, prostitutes and corrupt police officers.
