Last Friday, May 30, the Canòdrom. L'Ateneu d'Innovació Digital i Democràtica., located at Carrer de Concepción Arenal, number 165, in the city of Barcelona, inaugurated the fifth edition of the 'Docs Hedy Lamarr' cycle with the screening of the documentary 'Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone', which opened the debate on the role of new technologies and the media in armed conflicts. Along these lines, over the next few weeks of June, two new outdoor screenings will be held. This year, the main themes of the fifth edition of the 'Docs Hedy Lamarr' cycle are technology, resistance and the digital future. Thus, documentary cinema becomes a tool for thinking about contemporary forms of resistance, oppression and social transformation through technology. The sessions range from a devastated Gaza to bots that recreate dead people with artificial intelligence, through bodies and screens hacked by cyberfeminism. The new screenings will be free to access with prior reservation, will have a small prior discussion by an expert and will start at 9:30 p.m.
Therefore, next Friday, June 13, a new session of the 'Docs Hedy Lamarr' series will be held with the screening of the documentary 'Ciberfeminismes en format curt', four shorts that will deal with digital violence and forms of female resistance in virtual environments. Specifically, 'Petrificada', 'A Cyberfeminist Manifesto for the 21st Century', 'A la cara' and 'A Bitch Mutant Manifesto' will be screened. Psychologist Eva Cruells, who has a long career linked to the defense of women's rights and global justice, will present the screening. Finally, next Friday, June 27, the fifth edition of the 'Docs Hedy Lamarr' series will close with the screening of the documentary 'Eternal You', which will address the growing business of digital immortality and question ethical, emotional and social limits. Researcher Judith Membrives, who collaborates as a teacher always from a critical and feminist perspective on technology, will present the session.
