John,

Hello!

I like Sarah Christman's film "Dear Bill Gates" (2006?).
It's been a few years since the last time I saw it, but I'm 
pretty sure it overlaps with your criteria.

>Hive mind!  I’m looking for films that use the desktop and the graphical user interface as the ground and foundation for essays, documentaries, narrative films.  Below is my preliminary list of films.  Please share works that either take the desktop environment for granted, critically engage with it as a space and temporal structure, or use it occasionally but incisively.  What interests me most: how the window, pop-up, drag and drop, double-click, etc. create new editing protocols and rules.  Or how they ruin everything good and right and holy about film.
