global issues of women and technology as part of the CWGS Gender &
Technology Film Series.

Nalini By Day, Nancy by Night
A film by Sonali Gulati, 27 minutes
This insightful documentary explores complex issues of globalization,
capitalism and identity. Gulati, an Indian immigrant living in the US,
explores the ramifications of outsourcing telephone service jobs to India
through a witty and personal journey into India's call centers.
Performing the Border
A film by Ursula Biemann, 42 minutes
A video essay set in the Mexican-U.S. border town of Ciudad Juarez, where
U.S. multinational corporations assemble electronic equipment just across
from El Paso, Texas. This experimental work explores the sexualization of
the border region through labor division, prostitution, and sexual violence
in the public sphere.
Writing Desire
A film by Ursula Biemann
23 minutes
Although under-age 'pen pals' and mail-order brides have always been part of
the transnational exchange of sex in the marketplace of desire, the Internet
has accelerated these transactions. Biemann simulates the gaze of the
Internet shopper looking for the imagined docile, traditional, pre-feminist,
but Web-savvy mate.
