| 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 together. This year, we bring the
very best works from SIGGRAPH Asia and the ‘mainland’
USA SIGGRAPH (held in New Orleans) to the big screen. |
