Digital platforms no longer simply reflect human emotions and behavior — they shape them. Through social media, vlogs, and livestreams, we learn what to desire and how to see the world; we imitate one another and sometimes model ourselves on digital characters. Algorithms pick up on our feelings and feed them back to us, often making them stronger. Intimacy is increasingly mediated by screens, while the boundary between private and public life grows more unstable: we become attached to online idols and form emotional bonds through digital images; at the same time, we express our joy, rage or even grief before a global audience. What kind of community is taking shape in this technological environment? This program brings together films that reflect our era of 24/7 voyeurism and exhibitionism fused into one.
This program is curated by Vladimir Nadein and Dmitry Frolov
