Life without the WWW, our tiny screens and technology is now nearly unthinkable and has a crucial role not only in shaping our lives but also in the discourse on feminism. Not only does it allow for mobilizing beyond geographical location, but is a tool of self-expression that offers autonomy and lets us imagine future utopias or dystopias. While cyber-feminism has been around for a good 20+ years, the post-cyberfeminist world now offer endless opportunities but also pose new issues and questions. This program includes a number of short films all related to different use of technology – be it in our everyday lives or in the future.<\/p>\n
