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.
