Sherlock Holmes and the Internet of Things. From New York to Turin, the cross-medial event of the year on the new frontiers of storytelling.

For the occasion of the 33rd edition of the Turin Film Festival the Crossmedia factory association will present Sherlock Holmes and the Internet of Things in Turin, an Immersive Storytelling Game conceived by the Digital Storytelling Lab at Columbia University, which intends to revisit the imagery of the most famed detective in the world in a completely innovative and cross-medial manner, creating the greatest crime-scene ever connected worldwide.

This cross-medial event is organised within the ambit of TFFOFF, with the partnership of the National Cinema Museum, the Circolo dei Lettori readers’ club, Fablab Turin, Cinema and communication media – Turin Polythecnic and Turin Piedmont Film Commission.

From 6.30 to 8:30 p.m., three teams of 18 participants in total will act out the role of as many  Sherlocks in three different locations in Turin, guided by an online killer and aided by the ever-ubiquitous Watson, while a team of selected storytellers will hold the threads of the story. A story which will not only see these three Turin locations connected to each other, but three more crime-scenes, situated in three different parts of the world which will be revealed at the last minute.
