2021 Showcase: The Lights and Shadows of COVID-19: Life Goes On
The 2021 Showcase is a theme-based introduction to some of the finalists’ works. Excerpts of the program will be shown together with the filmmaker’s interviews.
This first showcase will look at the effects of COVID-19. The themes range from how coronavirus-related stress produces domestic violence to insights obtained from popular Youtubers’ vlogs, how net predators steal up on children, and an amazing remote, net-based artwork. Together, they reveal both light and dark sides of the COVID-19 pandemic, providing glimpses into the problems confronting society today, and those that await us in the future.
