AI Summary

Filmmaker Dylan Stephen Levers’ debut feature Pop Pop is presented as a cinematic parable that blends striking visuals and sound with a critique of contemporary digital culture. The film weaves meme‑driven aesthetics, virtual‑world sequences and depictions of alt‑right protests to examine themes of virality, digital nihilism, the manosphere and radicalization.

Levers describes the work as increasingly topical and urges collective engagement with its unsettling questions.
