RESFEST, now in its 9th year, opened last night [Thursday] in New York's Tribeca Performing Arts Center and will take in more than 40 cities worldwide on it's "Keep it Curious" tour. For all you UK peeps, RESFEST touches down next Tuesday night 27 September at London's National Film Theatre. for a six day extravaganza of shorts, music videos, features, seminars, parties and live music events. This year - for their inaugural Director's Keynote Address - they have Anton Corbijn onstage, the world renowned filmmaker and photographer. A selection of Anton's work will screen and he will be informally interviewed by Paul Morely. There is also a major retrospective of Traktor featuring a special compendium of commercials and music videos, director's cuts and other oddities from the award-winning Swedish mad scientists, as well as By Design's survey of the latest innovations in the worlds of motion graphics and broadcast design. And, and, and there's some 60 shows in six days with feature film premieres, seminars, camera demos, and so many parties… with music from DJ Yoda vs Eclectic Method, Simian mobile Disco, Low Bee (Hollertronix), Optimo DJs, Cassette Boy & DJ Rubbish. Nice.
