Because We Are Visual

Olivia Rochette & Gerard-Jan Claes Belgiл, Hong Kong 2010 47 min.

Because we are Visual, winner of the VAF Wildcard documentary 2010, explores the phenomenon of public video diaries. The internet is littered with an endless stream of micro-confessionals and intimate exposures, teenage angst and moody blues, broken hearts and shy minds looking for comfort and company. Without explicitly judging the vlogs and deeply personal YouTube-videos, the film makers expose what virtual reality is all about: love, attention and human contact.
