Nominated for Best Creative Exhibition of the Year in the We Are Creative Awards
Discover the human stories behind the screen in a powerful pop-up installation in your local shopping centre. Dante or Die invites you into the lives of those affected by online gambling, transforming empty shops into moving spaces where real experiences come to life.
Take a seat in a submerged betting shop and watch Odds On, an award-winning interactive film that places you in the heart of a fantasy gambling world. Create a player profile, log into the fictional slots game Pearls of Fortune, and take your first spin. As you navigate the highs and hidden truths of online gambling, you’ll uncover a window into the lives of others behind the screen.
The accompanying exhibition explores the impact of gambling on real people and their families. Discover heartfelt accounts, research with charities, and conversations with victims of gambling harm. The installation reveals the raw, emotional realities that are woven into the film.
Learn about the filmmaking process for Odds On with behind-the-scenes insights. You can also access resources and support to continue the conversation.
We can offer creative community workshops and post-screening talks about the themes raised in Odds On. Please contact sophiehack@danteordie.com for more information.
Access:
Inside Odds On will be fully accessible to wheelchair users. The interactive film is creatively captioned and an audio-described version is available at all times.
Content warning:
The films presented contain gambling (live play, images, sounds, slot simulation) and discussions around lived experience of gambling which may be very triggering to people who are in recovery.
A full support pack for anyone who may be affected by the issues raised is available here.
