Hey All,

I wanted to share an event with you taking place in March of 2013. The Citrus Cel Animation Film Festival is running a competition called JUICED! This is a 24hr animation competition where teams are given a few texture assets and a theme, and they are given the task of creating an animated short in a mere 24hrs.

This is our second installment of JUICED!, and we would love to get some of you talented animators from the 11 second club to participate. You do not have to be present at the festival to participate and all animation can be done remotely, and submitted to the competitions sponsored YouSendit drop box.

For more information about the festival, or to register for the competition, feel free to visit http://www.citruscel.com/juiced2013/

Do you have what it takes to get JUICED!?

VIEWFest – A global network of digital movie festivals.

A selection of the best of every fest is screened, through the net, to all others fests.

This is VIEWFest. Turin is the Italian knot of the net.

VIEWFest, the italian evolution of Resfest, the successful global touring digital film festival, is not a festival like any other. It doesn’t have a mere spatial location, rather, it is a knot in a net.

Imagine a network of festivals everywhere in the world, from São Paulo to Seoul, from Amsterdam to Istanbul. Now, draw some virtual lines, communication channels among all these cities. The result is a worldwide festival, where every knot in the net is connected to the others. For Italy, this knot is Turin.

So… Get ready for the new era of the vanguard of digital filmmaking.

Three days of film, art, video clips, music, workshop, parties, and much more, and more…
