Programme 1
wow+flutter 00
Friday 28 July 7pm; Sunday 30 July 5pm

Onedotzero's pioneering compilation programme is at the forefront of innovation in the exciting trend towards digital moving image.

Contemporary motion graphics and digital effects explode across the screen in these dynamic short films which draw from the fields of graphic design to new media via illustration.

New short digital films include Hell for Leather directed by Ilustrator Andy Martin, which presents an evocative voiceover from his Grandfather on the D-Day landings; Salaryman from director Jake Knight, which incorporates short vignettes about a lonely Japanese salaryman; andack & drink'.
Claustrophobia and vertigo are explored by Slammer from D-Fuse which looks at fear of the prison system and Nick Ryan and Nick Roope with their film Velo which was created from video cameras hurled off tall buildings.

Nick@tomato produced two very different pieces which screen in this program. July is a simple graphic idea which reflects the freedom of summer in the ambiguities of a digital creation. A dark flipside to this is My Chocolate Bar, a psychologically morJe complex and disturbing short visual poem reflecting a fear of humiliation.

In Tokyo Fish Market, John Warwicker@tomato brings a diverse style which was influenced by the drawings and woodcuts of Japanese Manga. In contrast, Why Not Associates inventively illustrates the words of various music stars in Virgin Conference films.
These and other explosive productions made by non-traditional moving imagemakers embrace and push the possibilities of storytelling and visual experience.

Programme 2
onedotzero lens flare 00
Friday 28 July 9pm; Monday 31 July 9pm

Welcome to a world of fractured narratives, twisted trajectories, visual hooks and the split-second moment of creative impact!

With each advancing year, the benchmark for pre-rendered animated sequences in computer and video games is raised. Ironically, just as artists are beginning to experiment with a diversity of techniques, the latest console and computer technology is allowing many sequences to be generated in realtime by sheer processing power alone.

The line between passive and interactive storytelling continues to blur in these capsule narrative episodes.

From space epics to racetrack challenges, to strange dreams, to female heroes with a style all their own, this programme brings the latest in computer gaming. Renowned production companies such as Infogrames, Play Station, Konami, Namco/SCEE, Havas Interactive, Eidos Interactive, Electronic Arts, Mattel t Hill; the adrenalin battle rush of Dragon Valor, Warcraft III, Tiberian Sun and Nemesis; the racetrack thrill of Wip3out, Gran Turismo II and V Rally 2; and Lara CroftÕs latest exploits in The Last Revelation.

Other unusual and outstanding computer game sequences include y of errors which takes inspiration from silent slapstick shorts; and Legacy of Kain Soul
In this compilation, artists embrace, mix and deliver new and more powerful emotional experiences which are interactive, immersive, non-linear and thought-provoking.

The two onedotzero compilation programs are curated by Matt Hanson and Shane Walter, who are guests for this yearÕs festival. Two of these programmes are ics and digital effects in short digital films; and lens flare, programs from computer gaming. onedotzero works across boundaries and mediums, ignoring traditional structures and ways of working to produce distinctive, compelling and vital work.
