Endearing, entertaining, and well done: the film, which tracks the many lives of Pepe leads into all sorts of topics from the power of memes to bind communities, transform, and so much more. I really recommend and you can catch and watch it online via @FantasiaFest
I would have maybe introduced memes and 4chan slightly differently and also told the pivot to the far and alt-right differently well but all in all remarkably savvy film. Would work in all sorts of Internet-related courses if you can get access to the film
But what they told was in fact not easy to tell and they also managed to get 4channers from the pre-alt right age who loved pepe and one from the belly of the beast. That was quite interesting... and might surprise you a little
You can watch it here and I sincerely hope that film festivals continue to stream their movies for a fee post COVID. Many people pirate docs because there are no easy ways to pay for it. fantasiafestival.com/en/film/feels-…
If you teach on visual communication: it's also a great flick. In 2016 there was a lot of hysteria around memes and the visual culture of the internet but this movie shows how such symbols work to convey meaning/s and bind together affective and thus effective communities.
