London, UK - 3rd February, 2022. Aviary Studios has released the official poster and further tech details for The Gallery, the FMV/live action video game and interactive film hybrid scheduled for release in April, 2022 for PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox and PlayStation consoles, iOS and Android platforms as well as a release in UK cinemas as an immersive and participative interactive experience.

Written and directed by Paul Raschid, one of the most prolific live action video game / interactive film creatives, The Gallery is a thrilling combination of hostage thriller and social drama with a dash of world film festival cinema aesthetic. The poster has been created to engage both gamers and interactive film fans with its blend of powerful images depicting the games’ two time periods - 1981 and 2021, both of which are of considerable political, social and cultural significance in UK history.
