The New Gods Les Nouveaux Dieux
by Loïc Hobi
Official selection 2020
Official synopsis
Like hundreds of thousands of men, incel (or "involuntary celibate") LonerWolf68 shares his loneliness and hatred of women on the Internet. An artificial intelligence is tasked with eliminating him for posting violent and extremist content. In a world that proves less virtual than it seems, the audience is invited to step behind the screen of this lonely internet user. Unlike these “New Gods”, Loïc Hobi's film challenges rape culture and masculinity in crisis.
