The HTMlles Festival is an ongoing project of StudioXX, Montreal, Canada's
foremost women's digital resource centre, in operation since 1995. The
HTMlles Festival, started as an annual event focused on the position of
women in cyberspace, has now evolved to become an international biennial
project which includes all facets of new media and web art technologies. The
Montreal events now stand as a globally-known meeting place for women and
feminists working in creative digital mediums and the addition of
circulation projects has created an international network for Canadian new
media artists.

Following the EXPORT2 tour, the next HTMlles biennial event will be held in
October 2007, in Montreal. As a major international event, the HTMlles
Festival seeks submissions from international artists and academics and
collaborations with international curators, and cultural operators.

StudioXX and the HTMlles Festival receive support from numerous governmental
and private bodies including : The Canada Council for the Arts, Le Conseil
des Arts et des Lettres du Quebec, Heritage Canada, The Municipality of
Montreal and The Canadian Embassy in Ankara.
