From Goethe Institut:
You are invited to the film screening of “LenaLove”, a thriller film about the danger of social networks for young people. The film screening is within the framework of German Film Festival for Children & Young Audience.
16-year-old Lena (Emilia Schüle), creative and highly sensitive, dreams of escaping the suburbs, where nobody understands her. Spending her time assembling expressive collages and chatting on the internet, she meets a guy online. As Lena begins growing closer with her classmate Tim, a gifted graffiti-artist, she only confides in her chat buddy, whom she has never met in person. When Lena sees her best friend Nicole kissing Tim, she throws herself head-on into the social network even more. The joke among teenagers becomes a bullying excess that the adults are just as much a part of. As the facade of harmonious suburban life comes tumbling down and not only Lena’s life is at risk, each one has to question their loyalties.
Florian Gaag was born in 1971 and studied Film at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. Active as a director, screenwriter, musician and producer, he is concerned with the world of youth in his movies. After focusing on the German graffiti scene in his first movie “WHOLETRAIN” (2006) he now launches the audience into the dangers of social networks and cyber mobbing with his movie “LENALOVE” (2016).
