Jouvencelles
Fanie Pelletier
Through moments in the lives of three groups of girls, images gleaned from the web and live streams of young women around the world, Bloom delves into the world of today’s teenage girls. We delicately observe a hyper-connected but lonely generation inhabited by great lucidity, an inner struggle with self-image obsession, and a need for self-affirmation in the face of a complex sense of alienation.
The Invisible Everywhere
Helene Klodawsky
Audacious in form, The Invisible Everywhere, taps into a wide chorus of voices wondering how to care for loved ones in the modern age. Sculpted with found footage from a decade’s worth of participatory media, with analysis from experts and activists representing a burgeoning “care revolution,” The Invisible Everywhere creates a powerful narrative about what it means to be truly human in the 21st century. From personal confessional videos posted on YouTube and “in real life” (IRL) videos streamed on Twitch.tv, to corporate ads and community based instructional films, the documentary zeros in on a central paradox of our time: no matter how crucial care is to our very survival, the work of care is mired in indifference and invisibility. The film’s visionaries, while analyzing the work of care under profit driven neo-liberalism, will also point to solutions. The Invisible Everywhere asks whether the care crisis might also make way for a new conception of caregiving; one where “the invisible architecture that makes all other work possible” is finally seen, counted and valued.
