Anouschka
Dive into the immersive world of ANOUSCHKA, an animated mixed reality game in which you guide teenage Anouschka, of Surinamese-Javanese descent, on her search for identity after a major racist incident at school. With your smartphone you can explore the rich history of her family and the lively Bijlmer buurt through interactive mini-games. The game features three layered gameplay levels, an interactive liminal space and cinematic cutscenes that encourages introspection and conversations about the importance of identity and cultural heritage in a world that often tends towards uniformity. In her search for resilience and self-esteem, Anouschka rediscovers the music and power of her ancestors, and finds her own voice. This innovative project, created by Tamara Shogaolu, previously won the Holland Film Meeting Work-in-Progress Award and inspires players to embrace the importance of diversity and cultural connection.
