Can they look at documentaries too? In which case I would like to suggest "We Live in Public" by Ondi Timoner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XSTwfdFwIY *www.nannaventer.co.za <http://www.nannaventer.co.za> | www.hackingdesign.org <http://www.anjaresearchblog.wordpress.com>+27 84 929 4647 | @nannaventer* On Wed, Jul 13, 2016 at 10:53 AM, Shefali Virkar <shefali.virkar@gmail.com> wrote:
Hello everybody,
To add a recent release to the list, I would recommended Unfriended (2014) - wherein a group of online chat room friends find themselves 'haunted' on- and offline by an unknown person or 'force' that speaks to them by accessing the chat account of their dead, and presumably murdered friend.
The movie is a great study in Internet addiction and the use (and abuse) of Skype-based and Facebook-like social media platforms.
More information on the film can be found here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3713166/
Best regards,
Shefali

Has anyone mentioned Strange Days yet? That’s a film from 1995 addressing (amongst others) a similar topic as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Dear colleagues
I am teaching a course on media, culture and society, and am introducing a new assessment piece - a movie review. I am going to give students a selection of movies to choose from that have as a key element the role of communications technologies (including social media) on social change, social relations and identify.
I have already identified the following:
* Her - on operating systems and the self
* The Truman Show - on reality tv and public/private nexus
* The Enemy of the State - on surveillance technologies
* You've got mail (maybe) - on email and relationships
* Good morning Vietnam (maybe) - on radio and community building
I welcome any other suggestions and commendations. They can be old technologies, current or predicted new ones (ie sci fi).
