Q&A with filmmaker Jerry de Mars and/or team member.
Synopsis of film
The film ‘You are Your profile - Personal considerations when online’ (YaYp) is an exploration into the considerations people make when online. In this film a number of personal stories of young people is presented. The notion is that we all are active online in today’s more and more connected society. However, are we aware of the considerations we make when interacting with others and logging on to online platforms? How do we deal with the wrongdoings that might happen to us online? And are we aware of what is exactly happening, and can we actually control what happens, with our person data?
This film is part of the growing documentary project with a focus on the importance of being able to control your own person data online. Every year a new theme is chosen. The 2021 theme is ‘personal considerations when online’. Gradually almost every person's life is connected to the Internet and uses it in their daily lives. But how aware are we about the person data we share when we are connected to the Internet? For people this might have safety implications and it can harm our wellbeing and dignity. This film has the aim to enlight answers and to debate openly the future of our lives in an online connected society.
