Experiencing Interruptions?

Television

In a void room, a boy spends his time watching television; he has forgotten reality for the fake pictures on the screen. But a night he notices there’s something strange…maybe giving up on real life for television wasn't such a great idea…someone's watching him through television!

TELEVISION is the first short film of Mario Cesaro, it suggests a reflection about addiction to television and other new medias: these instruments have a dark, disturbing face because they can transform the way we see reality and think. This phenomenon offers a lot of new possibilities, but it also presents a risk: we might lose the sense of reality end, in the end, our freedom itself.
