Challenge
The cathedral’s history spans different eras, people and political events, so a conventional linear film would not let viewers explore the subject independently. The experience needed to preserve a cinematic atmosphere while opening access to photographs, documents and additional context.
Solution
I designed an interactive narrative structured around construction, architecture, power, people and the present day. The full-screen player is extended with clickable markers, archive cards, pause controls, episode navigation and a dedicated exploration menu.
Outcome
The documentary became a digital exhibition where viewers choose their route, watch selected chapters and reveal archival evidence directly over the film. The story remains coherent while becoming deeper and easier to explore independently.
