We believe that these works represent important steps in the evolution of these genres. They are all wildly divergent in their approach, philosophy and construction. Yet they are all attempting to define new ways to use this medium to tell a story or touch an audience.

We encourage you to use these festival "encapsulations" as a spring board for further exploration: seeking out the original work whenever possible. Several of the pieces detailed here are immediately available via the web, and where appropriate, links to the original site are provided.
