"Democracy is ..." (LowQ version), a film by Tino Schwanemann. A super slow motion and timelapsed cartoon-like rotoscoped experimental film as an audiovisual description of democracy?
The film is a controversy on democracy. Is our society really democratic? Can everyone be part of it? Or is the act of being part in democracy dependent to the access on technology, progression or any resources of information, as philosophers like Paul Virilio or Jean Baudrillard already claimed?
The film is an inventory of our surrounding reality and its goal is to initiate discussions on democracy.
This is the winner film of Gesellschafter Award 2009 & Bitfilm Festival 2009, and it is currently being proposed for the German Short Film Award 2010.

  • The US State Department denied this film from taking part in the festival although having the most views & votes. IS THIS DEMOCRACY? Judge yourself... Thanks to everyone for your support!

  • I think your video is very provocative and its excellent. Really makes you think. Nice 1 :@)

  • I am very upset with the results. I have seen your video and its really great. Its democracy shown from a different point of view, exactly what US democracy really is. But it looks like Americans are afraid to see their own reality, what seems they are not that brave. Congratulations for the fantastic images and the good edition, and it isnt fair that
