Present.Perfect

21st TDF: Greek Premiere

Weaving together footage filmed and broadcasted by little-known Chinese live-streaming anchors, who struggle with real-life face-to-face social interaction because of their identity, disability, and socioeconomic status, this cinematic collage explores how individuals satisfy their craving for human connection through virtual togetherness, and how these virtual relationships challenge standard definitions of companionship.
