Digital Immigrants
The year: 1984. The home computer arrives in our living rooms and overruns a whole generation. Only those who master the new technology have a future. The computer splits society into “Digital Natives” and “Digital Immigrants”.
The year: 2016. A group of senior citizens is trying to adapt to the speed of computerisation in order to find their place in the digital age. Their problem is ours: How long can we keep up with the rapid development?
Digital Immigrants will be screened right before the film Happy as part of a double bill.
2016 | 21 min | Swiss-German with English subtitles | Director: Norbert Kottmann, Dennis Stauffer | G
Happy
Filmmaker Carolin Genreith is understandably embarrassed when her father Dieter flies regularly to Thailand to enjoy the company of women around her age. But things are getting serious: Dieter has been in a stable relationship for three years with Tukta, and wedding bells loom. Is this love, as he has persuaded himself – or more of a “trade”, as Carolin accuses him of?
Following her debut film, Dancing with Bellies, which tells of how her mother found happiness post-divorce, Carolin’s latest documentary addresses not only her father’s unfulfilled desires and fears of loneliness in old age, but also her own ambivalent feelings. The father-daughter relationship is put to the test in Thailand, where Carolin suddenly finds herself a member of a new family, while Dieter is confronted with an entirely different concept of love.
Happy will be screened right after the short film Digital Immigrants as part of a double bill.
