The HTMlles 10: Risky Business — Feminist festival of media arts + digital culture :: November 10-18, 2012 :: :: Call for Proposals — Deadline: April 2.

In previous editions the festival had a big media response and over 3000 visitors visited it every year, so this is a challenge for the organizers to further expand it and trespass the boundaries of the gallery space which has become too small for all the projects which are to be carried out.
