Investigative Film Festival Skopje on Tour - Sofia: #GoingDigital

05.03.2020 23:00 bis 01.01.1970 00:00 - Literature Club "Peroto", 17.30 h

What is the future of journalism in the world of social networks and digital marketing? Is true journalism - objective and respectable - possible at all in an era dominated by technology, digital platforms and thus extreme public sentiments and emotions that, instead of connecting us, drive us apart? Do fake news define our new reality?

The IFFS - Investigative Film Festival, Skopje - an initiative of the Investigative Journalism and Analysis Platform Macedonia, PINA goes on tour and has chosen Sofia to be its first stop to present the original Netflix documentary - THE GREAT HACK.

We are discussing the battle with digital misinformation and propaganda with

Nikoleta Daskalova, Project Coordinator at the Media Democracy Foundation in Bulgaria,

Gabriela Velichkova, Coordinator at the Institute for Social Integration,

Vladiimir Ognyanov, a Freelance Copywriter

and Kristina Ozimec from the Investigative Journalism and Analysis Platform Macedonia, PINA is making an introduction to the topic.

The screening beginns at 19.30 h. Runtime: 114 mins, Language: English with Bulgarian subtitles

From award-winning filmmakers Karim Amer and Jehane Noujaim, THE GREAT HACK uncovers the dark world of data exploitation with astounding access to the personal journeys of key players on different sides of the explosive Cambridge Analytica/Facebook data scandal. A manipulation that predetermined two fundamental choices - the 2016 US presidential elections and Britain's decision to leave the European Union.
