Hi folks - I'm a new poster - watch SPACE all the time but never checked out the forums. I came looking for them to publicise a film festival my friends and I have put together. It runs from January 30th to February 4th - 9 films - 8 speakers - 6 nights in Vancouver at the International Film Centre on Seymour St.
It's a mix of speakers from the VFX industry including two Academy Award winners, and a bunch of classic effects films like "2001: A Space Odyssey", "Jason and the Argonauts" and "The Matrix". Lot's of the speakers worked on these films and will be introducing them and so on. Hope some of you are interested.

I hope I haven't broken any rules by posting this here - it is a non-profit event!
cheers,
Drood.
