Fanfictional Politics

Sinopsis Film

Fanfictional Politics by Pedro Gossler utilizes online conspiracy theories and objective facts to show how political narratives are constructed and manipulated out of opinions, ambitions, opportunities, delusions, memories, and a few certitudes. Against a backdrop of all-consuming media mistrust, the very concepts of good and evil, right and left, human and inhuman, have lost meaning. In this metaphysical wasteland we wonder at the grim absurdity of what is presented as fact. Find out about Steve Bannon’s World of Warcraft sweatshop operation and how it contributed to Donald Trump’s presidency win. Think about the symbolic and literal significance of the table in political power struggles––and how it can all be connected to Vladislav Surkov, Putin’s personal advisor until February 2020. What if it’s the fans who know what’s really going on, better than the haters and those who don’t really care?
