This event includes a post-screening Q&A with director Dylan Reibling and the director of the preceding short film, Mathieu Boudreau. Synopsis: The internet has become an invisible force driving nearly every aspect of our lives, yet we rarely consider how profoundly this nebulous entity has transformed humanity. In The End of the Internet, Toronto director Dylan Reibling investigates the origins of the web and the unintended consequences reshaping our world today. The film examines who controls the internet’s levers of power and influence, revealing how diverse factions are fighting to restore it as a principled tool for universal access and equal participation. Following a global cast of characters—from Hong Kong dissidents affected by government censorship, to Indigenous Brazilians using programs to protect data sovereignty, to Catalans who built community-driven networks promoting free speech, to a Berlin commune shaping the internet around mutual aid, to tech companies betting on utopian decentralized visions—Reibling’s documentary captures the deeply human side of our most transformative technology. The film asks whether we can reclaim the internet’s founding promise of connection and liberation. Join us for the Canadian premiere of The End of the Internet, following its world premiere at CPH DOX. *This film will be preceded by short film True Nature (Canada, 21 min). Synopsis: Every autumn, hunters in Gaspésie cut themselves off from the digital world for a while. They retreat into the forest, a disconnected territory. But a growing constellation of small network access zones is threatening this salutary pause in nature, and questioning our relationship with technology in our daily lives.
