Nora Fingscheidt introduces us into the world without TV, internet and cellphones. The community of Mennonites attempts to stop the moment and preserve their little world pure. But the big World is just behind the hence. Who knows, if they can stay “Without the World”.

"Without the World"

“The world is mine” can be the slogan of personages of the self-title film. They also create their own universe, on the edge of fantasies and technologies, but it’s the world of future where cyber-relations are more actual than everyday reality.

“Donna Harraway. Story telling for earthly survival” is devoted to the distinguished scholar, specialist in problems of consciousness and cyborg feminism. Donna Harraway’s reasonings about changing world and its narrative turns into a fascinating story of life and thinking. The film immerses us into the world, full of sounds, images and thoughts.
