Between Fake News, Self-Dramatization and Safe Spaces - Short Film Program for Safer Internet Day 2023

The digital space is constantly changing. New platforms, formats and trends are emerging every day. The initiators of Safer Internet Day have set themselves the goal of informing people about the opportunities, hurdles and dangers that need to be considered in this context.
To promote awareness of the topic of "Safer Internet," we have put together a program of short films for Safer Internet Day at
. The films are presented in a variety of formats.

The films shown in the program use the characteristics of the medium to look at and critically examine current phenomena on the Net in the area of tension between fake news, self-dramatization and safe spaces. They are ideally suited for exploring questions about the authenticity of images, the opportunities and difficulties of the viral spread of content on the net, or the boundaries of privacy and publicity in the classroom.
