Reality Forum is where reality TV meets its distant cousin—performance. Organized by Wojciech Kosma and June Berlin, it is a monthly screening and discussion group that tries to reimagine the genre that has come to be known as "unscripted television." Alongside viewing mainstream reality TV, the participants are also attempting to create their own idiosyncratic versions of it. Those versions are presented like performances—once and only within the context of the group. Anyone with an interest in reality TV or performance—fans, artist, actors, viewers, producers or critics—is welcome to participate.
In May, going against the regular reality TV trend we will watch shows that aren't just schadenfreude and are actually uplifting (it's May after all!)—The Prancing Elites Project, the new season of Queer Eye and RuPaul's Drag Race among others. We will talk about emotions surrounding different representations and drink some prosecco.
Suggestions for what should we watch next—including your own reality TV-related work—are always appreciated.
