My Best Thing (2011, 100min)

    English /  100 Min

    The artist Frances Stark, who lives in Los Angeles, is showing her animated film “My Best Thing” in the festival “Männlich Weiß Hetero.” Made in 2011, the film was awarded the audience prize at the Venice Biennale in the same year. The action is based on a series of sexualised conversations that a protagonist – white, female, heterosexual – carried on with much younger male counterparts of largely southern European origin on the website Chatroulette.
