Director Statement

Post-truth thrives on noise. When broadcast over different networks, information warp, organize temporary encounters between disconnected facts, unveil new narratives while refusing to deliver a clear message. Out of the relational dimension incumbent upon the globalized world, the citizens of the infosphere are relieved of responsibility and pushed to support all stages of the breeding of truth, drawing from the often contradictory fragments spread by the search engines, to activate private connections and build a reputation as influencers before their fictitious audience.
This video is a speculation about the anatomy of noise, which in turn becomes the world of some unstable imaginary, where the tacit rules of propaganda and artifice tune an unprecedented representation of history, disjointed from time, where the words of A. N. Chamberlain intertwines with those of T. S. Eliot, at the end of history.
