New documentary on surveillance culture in Denmark

Anders Albrechtslund and Btihaj Ajana have received 100.000 DKR from AUFF in order to create a documentary on the surveillance culture in Denmark. The documentary argues that we live in a culture in which surveillance is everywhere. However, surveillance is not necessarily a negative phenomenon and arguing that we are living in a surveillance culture is not an orwellian proposition. Instead, the documentary depicts the many different forms surveillance takes pertaining to the relations between citizens and government, corporations and consumers, as well as between partners, family members and friends.   

The documentary is expected to be finished in June 2017.
