The film was essential for Respawn Entertainment’s Medal of Honor VR game.
The documentary short Colette won an Oscar the previous evening, a first for the computer game industry, and it took a strange course to arrive. The film was initially created by Oculus Studios and EA’s Respawn Entertainment as a component of the main individual shooter VR game Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond. With regards to Medal of Honor’s chronicled exactness points, players can open short “Gallery” films (in a normal 2D configuration) about genuine WW II veterans as they progress through the game. Among those is a 24-minute piece on Colette Marin-Catherine.
Coordinated by Anthony Giacchino, the film recounts the narrative of Colette, who is currently 90 years of age and one of the last enduring French Resistance individuals. After the conflict she would not go to Germany, yet was in the long run convinced to do as such by a youthful history understudy, Lucie Fouble. Once there, she visits the Nazi death camp where her sibling, Jean-Pierre, was murdered.
After it was obtained and dispersed by The Guardian, Colette won an honor for best short film at the Big Sky Festival, making it qualified for an Oscar. In the wake of taking the sculpture, it’s not simply the principal Oscar attached to the computer game industry, yet the first for The Guardian’s Documentaries division.
“The real hero here is Colette herself, who has shared her story with integrity and strength,” said Oculus Studios director of production Mike Doran in a statement. “As we see in the film, resistance takes courage, but facing one’s past may take even more. Allowing us to preserve this pilgrimage for future generations was a true act of bravery and trust.” You can watch it here.
