According to [CinemaBlend](http://www.cinemablend.com/new/David-Cronenberg-Films-Becoming-An-Augmented-Reality-Game-28653.html?ref=killscreen.com), the Toronto Film Festival (TIFF) is planning a retrospective for legendary Canadian film director David Cronenberg, whose credits range from indie hits and Academy-admired works, from *The Fly* and *Dead Ringers* to *The History of Violence* and this year’s Carl Jung character study, *A Dangerous Method*. In a true Kill Screen twist, however, the retrospective will use Augmented Reality games to honor the filmmaker’s canon.

The plan for an ARG, tentatively titled *Body/Mind/Change*, is a seemingly ideal way to look back on a director whose work tends to focus on the blurring between media and reality, most famously in the cult thriller, *Videodrome*. With backing from the Canadian government, TIFF plans to release playable content by this year’s festival in September.

As Max Renn says, “Long live the new flesh.”
