In Because We Are Visual Olivia Rochette and Gerard-Jan Claes immerse themselves in the world of public video journals. The internet and its online communities strive to bring people closer together and to connect them. Yet, surprisingly, it seems that the virtual world confronts these so-called ‘vloggers’ more than ever with their own loneliness.
This documentary allows the viewer to explore this contemporary phenomenon and focuses on the experience of the body within this virtual space. By means of visual material gathered from online sources, the cineastes create a unique poetic realm in which thoughts, fears, desires and worries, shared via the webcam, merge together.

Die Zeit: Do you concern yourself with new media and technology? Jean-Luc Godard: I try to keep up. But people make films on the Internet to show that they exist, not in order to see something.
