This special edit reel of feature work, art, science, broadcast and games is brought to us by Computer Animation Festival Chair, Isaac V. Kerlow and Technical Director Josh Grow.

They find a way to consistently raise the bar every year, making the jury process extremely difficult, but very rewarding" said Grow, who will be present to provide the opening remarks.

This year's screening of festival highlights will include visual effects clips from recent feature films "2012", "Alice in Wonderland", and "Avatar", along with the latest in ground-breaking short animated and visual effects films.
