PRZEMIANY FESTIWAL 2018
The festival was on the verge of art and science and included some films, mostly documentaries, among others:
FACEBOOKISTAN
Recommended. Ever had a Facebook account? Everything you did there, everyone you knew and what they did has provided info about you. Even all the people you unfriended and posts you deleted. And all this data is stored indefinitely by the gigantic corporation. All circumstantial data is extracted also from each photograph.
INSTANT DREAMS
Watchable. Fascinating cinematography with an impressive use of colours. Inspiring electro and classical music. Little of a story. Protracted. You learn quirky trivia like: hens don't pee, only poo and spit; some people living in trailers on a desert look like models; a few decades ago Edwin Land predicted taking pictures with your phone.
THE AMINA PROFILE
Recommended. A compelling story of fake identities online and a large scale deceipt. With two big surprises along the way.
A GOOD AMERICAN
Recommended. About outrageous corruption, fraud and lawlessness in the heart of NSA. And about blatant neglection of the duty of protecting US citizens. One of the agents puts his rules of getting things done: if you want something done, do it yourself and don't ask for permission, ask for forgiveness if needed.
ZERO DAYS
Watchable. An engaging investigation and revelation of how cyber wars are already conducted. A computer virus can destroy a nuclear plant. Inspiring but so technical the film didn't fully appeal to me on the emotional level.
