Interactive Cinema: Montage as a Tool for Creating a Variable Narrative
Trends and Challenges in the Development of Contemporary Culture and Art

Montage in interactive cinema is not only a linear cut between shots — it is a mechanism for assembling variable narrative paths. The paper examines how editing grammar supports reconfigurable story structures and how the cut becomes a site of interaction rather than only of continuity.
Core claim
In interactive cinema, montage assembles variable narrative paths rather than only securing linear continuity. Editing grammar becomes a site where interaction and storytelling meet.
Conclusions
Treating the cut as interactive infrastructure clarifies how reconfigurable story structures are authored and experienced. Montage is a tool of variability, not merely of sequence.
