When Rom Sheratzky discovers a local livestream in Frankfurt, he becomes fixated on the stranger behind the camera. Largely told through webcam footage, Notes app confessions, and social media screenshots, Follow Back charts the filmmaker’s escalating desperation to connect, offering an unsettling study of loneliness, obsession, voyeurism/exhibitionism, and surveillance in the digital age.

Sheratzky (*1995) is a performance artist and choreographer based between Vienna and Frankfurt. His work explores queer intimacy and queer commitment, focusing on how new media reshapes the ways we come close. Through queer interventions in public space, he initiates new forms of encounter between unfamiliar bodies, where movement and voice become tools for negotiating desire, distance, and attention. Through his works, he engages with intimacy, surveillance, temporality, and queer desire across physical and digital landscapes, questioning the politics of visibility and the fragile borders between public and private, legal and illegal.
