HOAX_CANULAR

Directed by Dominic Gagnon
Canada, 2013

Synopsis

How do you survive the end of the world? The young people in this exceptional found-footage film discuss their plans and expectations in a series of online videos. Some of them think they can survive, others embrace the end. Sometimes parody, sometimes scarily real.

Our take

Accumulating a series of YouTube videos into a hypnotic found-footage collage, artist Dominic Gagnon assembles a bracing document of teen paranoia. Intimately entering the private worlds of young adults obsessed with the apocalypse, Hoax_canular is a sociological plunge into internet-age nihilism.
