Downstream
Length: 06'05"
Year: 2026
When a creative young woman becomes distracted by her smartphone, the digital world threatens to flood the physical one.
Downstream explores the overwhelming influence of constant digital information technology as a force of nature: ever-present, intrusive, and difficult to resist.
Through an everyday scenario, the film visualizes the pervasive mental tug-of-war we face with phone use.
Made through the Gmac Little Picture scheme with support from Screen Scotland
