3D Film Night

Selected from an international open call, an evening of artists’ short films made using 3D graphic creation software or screened using 3D presentation technology. The shorts will include Elephants Dream, the world's first movie made entirely with Open Source graphics software. Directed by Bassam Kurdali, Elephant’s Dream was the first 3D ‘open movie’. It was community-financed, with the entire production database made open for everyone to re-use and learn from. The film was the culmination of the Orange Open Movie Project, produced by the Blender Foundation and the Netherlands Media Art Institute. It tells the story of Emo and Proog, two people with different visions of the surreal world in which they live. Viewers are taken on a journey through that world, full of strange mechanical birds, stunning technological vistas and machinery that seems to have a life of its own.
