Christian von Borries. MOCRACY - NEVERLAND IN ME, 2011, 76 min, premiere
Since the 1980s, this world has been characterized by four developments: the growth of political democracy, the growth of Online Democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy. MOCRACY examines consumerism, capitalism, oppression, misery rule and the help industry. People become a mass ornament, architecture a tuning tool for societies, self optimizing in file. Charity is the other side of democracy, while democracy appeares as a lifestyle option for the rich. Michael Jackson is the soundtrack of the neoliberal 80s, a choreography of democracy. The film itself is imitating democracy in a nutshell, representing failing polyphony. In this sense, MOCRACY is a musical journey through Kasachstan, Kosovo, Pyonyong, Detroit and Berlin, a neverland, the utopia of a non-place, where the film clip serves as a misappropriation of the individual torso.
The project is realized as part of the International Cultural Programme of the Polish EU Presidency coordinated by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute.
The project is cofinanced by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland.
