“Open World” uncovers the intersection of video games and identity in a small but constantly evolving country like Switzerland, where gaming is more than entertainment—it’s a gateway to alternative lives governed by new rules. The documentary spotlights a game creator, a young streamer, and a cultural institution as they navigate and influence Switzerland’s evolving identity. Witness a nation’s self-perception reimagined through the pixelated lens of virtual worlds, and see how these digital dimensions are not just opening Swiss culture to the global stage but are also redefining individuality within its society.
Composed of people from diverse nationalities, Viven Film brings to the screen the perspectives of those who come from elsewhere, who feel elsewhere, of those who do not fear diversity.

Different lives, different voices, different ways of telling them.
