SIGGRAPH is without doubt one of the most important
gathering points for the international digerati. Whether it is
short films, ads, software demo reels, trailers or music videos,
SIGGRAPH exists to bring the finest digital animators and their
work into the spotlight.
Utilising our position as Special Programs
Advisor to SIGGRAPH Asia’s CAF (Computer Animation Festival)
we bring this collection of the best films to the big screen from
that event and the ‘mainland’ USA SIGGRAPH (held in
New Orleans).
