Selfies

About This Movie

Selfies (2018) is a fascinating experiment in digital identity, where Claudius Gentinetta stitches together a chaotic tapestry of self-portraits. The animation style feels jagged, almost frenetic, which matches the themes of self-exploration and vulnerability. It’s like watching a stream of consciousness unfold, yet it’s punctuated with moments of dark humor. Each selfie, whether cringe-worthy or thought-provoking, gets recontextualized, forming a grotesque smile that lingers in your mind. The pacing is intentionally disjointed, reflecting the erratic nature of social media itself. It’s not your typical documentary; it’s more of an immersive commentary on how we present ourselves—a mix of art and unsettling reality that's distinctly its own.
