IT’S IN THE GAME ‘17 or Mirror Gag for Vitrine and Protection

About This Movie

So, 'IT’S IN THE GAME ‘17' is this fascinating blend of animation and documentary, really. Sondra Perry dives deep into the digital landscape, exploring how identity gets twisted when we see representations of blackness through tech. The pacing is pretty unique, almost a reflective pace that gives you time to absorb her commentary. Visually, it’s striking—lots of layers in the animation that make you think about the medium itself. There’s an atmosphere that feels both personal and universally challenging, as it pushes boundaries on how we perceive ourselves in digital spaces. It’s a cerebral piece, definitely not your typical animated fare, but there’s a raw honesty in its exploration of subjecthood that sticks with you.
