Reports
Motivation: “As film critics, we look for films with a strong story, good dramaturgy, cinematic quality and a take on the world we live in. The film we chose combines all these aspects in a powerful way by focusing on young people, who are the future of humanity, and questioning the way they deal with the violence of our modern societies; by reflecting on the way social media reshape our perception of the world, and how social media and cinema mutually influence each other; by its strong visual storytelling that mixes different formats and techniques; and by its use of absurd humor to deflect traumatic events. This film stands on the borders between real and virtual, between feelings and algorithms, between empathy and indifference”.
