This morning, Netflix released a trailer for their upcoming documentary The Remarkable Life of Ibelin. Having already won a prize at the Sundance Film Festival, the movie will be hoping for awards attention this season. The streamer will release it in select theaters on October 18th before it hits the platform on October 25th.
Directed by Benjamin Ree, the film is described as such by Netflix:
When Mats Steen, a Norwegian gamer, died of a degenerative muscular disease at age 25, his parents mourned what they thought had been a lonely and isolated existence. They were unaware that Mats had long been leading a vibrant digital life that had left a profound impact on a community of fellow gamers.
The film takes us on a journey through the breadth of Mats Steen’s adventurous online life, introducing us to Ibelin, his charismatic World of Warcraft persona. Through reconstructed animated moments from Mats’ gameplay, narrated entries from his blog and interviews with people who knew him as Ibelin, a picture of a remarkable young man emerges, one that underscores how community and soulful relationships can transcend the boundaries of the physical world.
Here now is the trailer for The Remarkable Life of Ibelin:
