RESFEST (1996–2006) is a defunct American film festival. It was by the 2000s the most prominent digital film festival in North America. It was a leading global showcase of new digital filmmakers alongside England's Onedotzero festival. The festival toured the world and in 2005 travelled to 35 cities in the USA, Canada, UK, Japan, Australia, Brazil and in various cities in Europe, Asia and Africa. A large part of the festival's latter content focused on cutting-edge music videos and short films, and directors like Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze, Chris Cunningham and Jonathan Glazer all had their catalogs of work showcased at RESFEST over its 10-year run. The film festival was founded by Jonathan Wells after the dissolution of the Low Res Digital Film Festival which he had previously co-founded. Low Res Digital Film Festival first took place in October 1995 at an art gallery in San Francisco’s SoMa district. The first year’s program featured work from pioneering music video and motion graphics studio H-Gun Labs, England’s design collective Tomato, digital designer Nick Philip and filmmaker Spike Jonze, whose early skateboard short films were screened. In 1997 the producers also created the digital film lifestyle magazine RES, which was affiliated with the online media site Sputnik 7. Both the festival and magazine stopped updating their websites in the midst of RESFEST 10, the organization's 2006 tour, and have since been inactive. ==References== # Lisa Delgado (September 6, 2001) ("Filmmakers Say: Hi, Resfest" ) Wired # John Alderman (September 25, 1998) ("All Digital, All Weekend" ) Wired # Lee Hyo-won (August 26, 2007) ("Last RESFEST Marks New Start" ) The Korea Times # Wendy Mitchell (12 September 2005) ("RESFEST kicks of global tour in New York this week" ) Screen Daily # Susan Carpenter (September 29, 2005) ("Eclectic festival beyond film" ) The Los Angeles Times 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「RESFest」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
