CATVID-030

In this film, cats set out to rule the world. They discover that, with the advent of the Digital Age, people are increasingly dependent on social media as their source of information. The clever creatures use this to subject human beings to collective brainwashing via the Internet. The film’s aesthetic style finds inspiration in the treasure trove of media- and pop culture, such as manga and video games, and blends it all into a psychedelic mix of colours and shapes. A recurring motif is the image of Donald Trump who is depicted as the spreader of fake news on the Internet, something which gives the superficially amusing plot a critical undertone.
