The Electronic Theater

The Electronic Theater is one of the world's most prestigious film and video extravaganzas, showcasing dazzling and innovative imagery in invited and submitted works selected by a distinguished jury of computer graphics experts and specialists. The works selected for this year's Computer Animation Festival take us on a remarkable journey that combines the talent and brilliance of the current and future trends in art and science with the very best imagery depicting comedy, drama, romance, action, adventure, fantasy, science fiction, and science fact.

The Electronic Theater melds art with the latest trends in hardcore computing. It's the place to spot future trends in films and commercials.

Selections Include:

An amazing look behind the scenes at Shrek 2; from the Matrix "Making of The Superpunch"; from Weta how they created the world of "The Return of the King"; and backstage at The Polar Express. From the utter cutting edge of the research labs the absolutely incredible "Output-Sensitive Collision Processing for Reduced-Coordinate Deformable Models" and the sublime "Gratuitous Goop"
