A new video production is filling the vacancy created by the mass media. Science fiction, documentary, docudrama, multiplot, fanfiction, animation, hybrid, videologist. New and old languages ​​and ways of telling stories are overlapping, from remixes to digital platforms. Political, artistic, anarchic articulations are developing their audiovisual contents in a gray area, where traditional social movements never dreamed of achieving.
Digital convergence is the very trench of liquid, late hyper-postmodernity. It unequivocally sets out the challenges that have never been met. The phenomenon give us back the possibility of choosing one's own references, stolen by the cinematography that condemned viewers to perceive imposed realities.
