4. People’s Republic of Desire.
We saw the documentary People’s Republic of
Desire (Hao Wu, 2018). It follows two people in
China who are hoping to become famous through live-streaming. It also tracks the fans—some
very rich, some very poor—who pay to vote for them in an annual competition.
We went to get some bubble tea afterwards to talk about the film and wonder
about internet audiences, social connectedness, and bad interface design.
Chris Piuma and Lochin
Brouillard saw this film as
part of Hot Docs. Chris mentions this episode of You’re
Not Funny.
