Experiencing Interruptions?

Lighting chess

At chess two people are sitting in front of a chessboard and the real world is faded out.
This movie shows the inversion: Both players reenact a famous game – Lorente vs. Montanez, Malaga 1999 – they see each other however only at the last draw. They move in real life and the chess game appears surprisingly random and requires the next draw. 17 filming locations in three minutes – a fast forward shot of the protagonists real life, who are imaginarily connected through a chess game – asynchronous but still united in one game. Inclusion of the real world in a fairly autistic game
