No Democracy Here
Liad Hussein Kantorowicz, Germany, 2018, 25min. Hebrew with English subtitles, HD

Set in a university in China, Normal is a mockumentary about a Student Union general election meeting with an unexpected ending: Trigger warning for those sensitive to Chinese propaganda!

Shot on and around election day 2013 in Israel, No Democracy Here documents filmmaker Liad giving her submissives a lesson in democracy, using BDSM practices as an allegorical critique. The film includes the submissives’ candid right-wing opinions and ends with Liad forcing them to vote for the “correct” party. (PF)
