Official synopsis

Researcher and director Chloé Galibert-Laîné immerses us in her digital diary based on the film “Watching the Detectives” (2017), an investigation Chris Kennedy led on Reddit users who turned themselves into detectives after the Boston Marathon bombing. She compares the interpretations and comments of the forces of law and order regarding images that were broadcast on television and the Internet. The analysis she offers on the integration of these events into popular culture raises questions about our relationship to images and their polysemy.

Biography and Filmography

Chloé Galibert-Laîné is a French researcher and filmmaker. She is currently preparing a research-creation PhD at the École normale supérieure de Paris (SACRe - PSL University).
