1) >>> Introduction

The Lancaster Film New Media Festival is a new event, which grew from a
pilot scheme held by the BEST centres in Lancaster last year.

2003's Festival planning has brought together key organisations in Lancaster
along with the City Council and secured additional funding and sponsorship.

This year's Festival is planned to be much bigger and will encompass the
whole of Lancashire and South Cumbria. The open regional submission was open
to all new and established filmmakers and new media producers working in the
field of the moving image.

Selected submissions from Lancashire and Cumbria are being screened in four
categories :

Short Animation
Short Fiction
Documentary
New Media

With six new awards to be announced at the awards ceremony on Sunday 13th
July.

An independent selection panel included Ian Aspin (421 Films)The Three Bears
(Bryony, Cadi & LinnheCatlow)Tom Holley
(Huddersfield New Media Centre).

2) >>> New Media

Alongside more traditional film making, artists and producers have been
using New Media techniques and technologies explore ways to manipulate and
show moving images.

This section of the Festival looks at the range of non-linear methods of
presentation, using computer interfaces and often online distribution to
bring a more cutting edge to the Festival.

New Media works will be shown at Folly throughout the Festival. You will
find a relaxed and informal atmosphere with help and a fresh cup of coffee
at hand whilst you browse many differing, experimental and playful works on
show.

Installation work will aslo be shown within Storey Gallery - Saturday only.
