Documentary // Another perfect world

Another Perfect World is a documentary about digital utopias, about online worlds created as places for work, play, friendship and love. But who creates these worlds and what ideas and ideologies lie at the base? How do you build a virtual utopia? What are the economical and political rules in the virtual world? Is there freedom of press? What is more important: freedom of expression; an active marketplace to encourage social interaction; or laws to define the limits of social relations? The creators  of “Another perfect world” go looking for the answers to these questions. They speak with some of  the creators of virtual worlds like Philip Rosedale from Second Life, Jae-Kyung Song from Lineage, Hilmar Veigar Petursson from EVE Online and Raph Koster from Metaplace about the ideas behind their worlds. But also about the ongoing battle between developers and inhabitants.
