MICROCOSM
I am part of the last generation in human history to have a childhood without the internet. My son, in contrast, is part of the first ever tech-native generation. We have one of the starkest childhood lifestyle divides that has ever existed. Any song, accessible with the push of a button; video chatting that was once the stuff of science fiction; media of all kinds just a voice command away; social media and self-branding is ubiquitous; boredom is blasphemy. This film transports us back to the summer of 1993, a 30 year time slip into a life when what we knew was limited to what we saw in reality, or movies, or television. Kids roamed the neighborhood and created fun out of the slow summer crawl of time, in some ways freer then than now.
