Festival Description:

onedotzero: adventures in moving image.

onedotzero is a hybrid organization: a cross-media production company and an acclaimed international network of events. pioneering in its vision, onedotzero champions and explores new forms of moving image, celebrating the next generation of creators. its activities range from a dvd label to events, education to publishing, and consultancy to productions.

onedotzero was conceived at the start of the desktop digital revolution in the mid-1990s out of a desire to explore moving image across single screen, interactive and live audio-visual work. today, onedotzero remains the site for contemporary creative collisions, and is committed to providing a home for visionary moving image experimentation.

onedotzero has become a global phenomenon, its network of events annually reaching over 60 cities worldwide and thousands of people. it has been the largest dedicated digital film festival in the world since 1999. since its inception, onedotzero has collated and commissioned hundreds of hours of original programming for its festival, events, dvd and other projects.
