Limited space workshops are: Flash Animation for Websites (12 spaces), Editing with Final Cut Pro (12 space), and Stop Motion (Animation) on the Fly (8). To sign up, you can send an email to msfilms[at]hotmail.com. Your space will be confirmed when you purchase your pass (please let our volunteer know you need to have your space confirmed). We will hold it until the beginning of the workshop, at which time we will give to someone on the waiting list if you aren't present.


What are limited space workshops?
Three (3) of our workshops this year have limited space available (due to supplies available and necessity to keep the class size small for quality of learning). These spaces are given on a first-come, first-serve basis to those who have purchased either a Full Festival Pass or a Single Workshop Pass. If you haven't purchased a pass and would like to sign up, you can sign up as tentative via e-mail and then your space will be confirmed when you pay for your ticket (or pass). Please let our volunteers know that you need to confirm when you buy your pass. Your seat will be held until the beginning of the workshop. If you haven't paid by workshop start time, or don't appear at start time, your space may be given away to someone on the waiting list. All other workshops simply require purchase of a pass or ticket, and don't require previous sign-up.

- Limited space workshops are: Flash Animation for Websites (12 spaces), Stop Motion Animation On The Fly (8 spaces), and Editing with Final Cut Pro (12 spaces).

- E-mail requests to sign up to: msfilms@hotmail.com . We may not be able to respond to all requests, but you may check at the ticket table at any time to find out your workshop sign up status.

We are thrilled to announce our brand-new third edition, printed in collaboration with our new distributor, Parcell Press. This new partnership has allowed us to get the guide printed by a real printer and put a nice spiral binding on it so it can function more like a manual.

The new edition will be available at the festival, and everyone who purchases a full festival pass will receive one for free!


 



We are proud to offer you a great compilation of films from the past several years of the festival, focusing on the 2005 festival in a DVD that we created for our West Coast tour in the fall. The compilation features great films. It will be available for purchase at the festival. Other compilation projects in the works include women in horror, and films by Indian women. Please join our mailing list to receive updates about our upcoming releases.
