Leïth Benkhedda+
“The Internet of Friends is primarily a film realized through personal testimonies, short stories, and autofictions written in collaboration with Benkhedda’s peers. After fracturing the texts up into smaller one-liners, Benkhedda fed them through the app Whisper, in which users post and share confessions by superimposing text over an image. Inverting the white text with black outline vernacular of meme culture, the testimonial texts also function like subtitles, plotting out a narrative that ruminates on themes of online identity and community formation.”
