Resfest 2002

Yesterday I bought some tickets for two programs at this weekend’s Resfest. I would like to see everything at the festival, but time and money are preventing me (and the fact that the scheduling is a bit annoying this year as they are only showing everything once). I did get tickets for the two programs I most wanted to see though, the one covering motion design shorts (probably my favorite program of last year), and the one for documentaries. I might try to catch another program or two on Sunday, but I’m at least certain to see those two.

And speaking of motion design, check out the STAT.IND site for a few cool examples.

Yeah, it’s called “By Design”. I’m really looking forward to that, especially the “Brazil” piece (including works by a bunch of people). I really wish I could catch more of the festival this year (last year I saw all of the programs), but it falls on a weekend where I don’t have as much time as I’d like to.

PauseTalk is a regular series of events that take place at Cafe Pause on the first Monday of every month, with a start time of 20:00. The idea is to create a forum where Tokyo-based creatives can get together and discuss their own projects, as well as cultural currents of the city. The next edition happens May 12.
