Most screenlife films fall into the horror category, in no small part because horror films can be produced quickly and inexpensively, without a reliance on A-list actors or expansive sets. They turn familiar online landscapes like Instagram and Skype into canvasses for storytelling. Screenlife films explore how our digital personas differ from who we are offscreen, the ways casual cruelty can be enabled through the distance created by posts and avatars, and the visual claustrophobia of crowded Zooms and chatrooms. The burgeoning movie subgenre often known as screenlife films, which take place entirely on laptop and phone screens, is a response to our highly online lives spent locked in on our devices.
In this age of social media and ubiquitous internet, we’re all obsessed with screens.
