title: [The Cinematographic Narration of the Posthumanism].
abstract: The cinema constitutes today the aesthetic forefront of the posthumanism and a powerful instance of reflection on the posthuman future. In its more futurist dimension, the films present an evolutionary irreversible process linked to the technological development, which will determine the end of the human kind and its birth to a new posthuman reality. But it turns out paradoxical that the process of dehumanization of the human beings appears like inevitable and, nevertheless, appears as ideally Utopian the desire of humanization of the androids (to support the human values beyond the human kind). In consequence, the cinematographic reflection on posthumanism seems to be headed not towards the appearance of a new nature but towards the recovery of the genuine human values.
