Programm Information
“TOXIC MEMES” is the title of this year’s originally planned program. Viral images, vlogs, online communities and memes are examined, deconstructed, and reassembled. Two films dealing with the phenomenon of YouTube communities are shown here alongside a talk with filmmakers.
Clean with me (After Dark) examines Youtube videos of women in the USA who film themselves cleaning in order to break out of their isolation. Watching the Pain of Others deals with a skin disease that literally went viral.
Panel: Netnography and Gender
What do videos of users say about our society as a whole and what role do the filmmakers who use these videos play? Chloé Galibert-Laîné (Watching the Pain of Others) and Gabrielle Stemmer (Clean with me) discuss these questions about so-called netnography.
