Borderlines Film Festival 

We Live in Public (15)

Director: Ondi Timoner
With: Josh Harris, Tom Harris, David Amron, Alex Arcadia
USA, 2009, 1 hour 29 minutes

Maverick web pioneer, Josh Harris, cannily presaged many of the interactive applications of the Net that we now take for granted. He made millions. Film-maker Timoner was on hand to capture some of what he did with his cash including the 'Big Brother'-like art experiment in the run up to the millennium. 100 volunteers were incarcerated in an underground New York basement and subjected to constant public surveillance. The results were scary, to say the least, but Harris didn't stop there. As much the personal story of a bizarre, obsessional man as a cautionary tale for social networkers, this is real-life documentary that is the stuff of science fiction.

Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary at Sundance Film Festival 2009
