Going South

About This Movie

Going South is an intriguing dive into our digital landscape, piecing together the essence of the South via an eclectic mix of YouTube vlogs and found footage. The film’s pacing is quite unique; it meanders through these disjointed snippets, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that’s as chaotic as it is captivating. Gagnon flips the narrative, showing us how we perceive reality through screens – storms rage, palm trees burn, and video game aesthetics blur with raw, real-life footage. It's this blend of the everyday and the surreal that makes it distinctive. There's something deeply unsettling yet oddly familiar in how he reconstructs these images, making you reflect on the current state of our digital existence.
