In 1997, Violaine and Ali Bali designed My Interactive TV, a format of interactive fiction for digital television and the DVD: at three crossroads in the story, the viewer chooses one of three options. To prove it could be done, they wrote a pilot, Hypnosis, which Violaine produced and Ali directed.
On December 28, 1998, the film went online: Hypnosis is recognized as the first interactive film released on the Internet. It was screened at the Centre Pompidou and in several festivals, and covered by Le Monde. It is still playable, in French and in English, at my-interactive.tv. The full story is on Ali Bali’s page.
