Synopsis

Kasey, a former porn star, is now a successful producer of adult films. Her website offers a wide range of pornographic material accessible via monthly payments. Since the announcement of the Web's shutdown, she has to find a solution that could help her survive in her post-Internet life.

Review

As the film opens, we're confronted with the stark subtitle: "The Internet is about to end." Set in a world dominated by the Internet, The Porn Selector paradoxically serves as the first installment of visual artist and filmmaker Lou Fauroux's "Internet Catastrophe" project. The film, leaning on a pessimistic outlook on post-internet life, tells the story of Kasey Warner, a former porn star turned producer. Kasey aims to dominate the market by selecting, downloading, and storing her own porn collection. Through innovative use of various digital production techniques, Fauroux guides the audience through the ethical dilemmas and quagmires of the internet. The film then poses provocative questions: What portrait emerges of the post-internet age, where capital, consumption, and desire run rampant? Is Kasey truly liberated after burying the expired existences?
