Studentski Grad Cultural Center, Tuesday 17 November: Sociological Cinema #12 – Consumer Society: I Shop, Therefore I Am

A film discussion in the Small Hall opens with two titles, "Moonlight Motel" and "The Substitute," and dives straight into consumer society, identity, and social control. Using Baudrillard’s idea of consumerism, the conversation explores our obsession with shopping, modern lifestyles, and the effects that constant consumption leaves on a person. Guest speaker Marko Kostić, film director and film theorist, joins the discussion, while the program is hosted and authored by Marko Jakasović, sociologist and film scholar.
