Cinema, science, technology and feminism come together in the Docs Hedy Lamarr documentary film series. Digital life and physical life are intertwined, there is no separating the two. The effects that the Internet and technology have on people’s lives are more visible than ever. An irrefutable example is the violence suffered by women and non-binary people online, but also by activists who dedicate themselves to denouncing the violations of states and technological corporations.

This fifth edition of the series features a selection focused on stories of resistance and digital activism. Films will be screened that explore themes such as the struggle in Gaza, cyberfeminism and digital immortality, followed by discussions on human rights in the digital context. The protagonists of Docs Hedy Lamarr show us that this discrimination can be fought against through organization and community, and despite the many flagrant violations, we can reclaim technology and assert our rights.
