The 3rd
GI JOE STOP MOTION FILM FESTIVAL award ceremony
will be held October 20th, 2010 at the Alamo Drafthouse
(Austin, TX USA) and will combine the excitement of world
premiere short-films and fan tributes with the allure of
Austin's nightlife. GI JOE Film
Festival highlights up and coming filmmakers,
as well as masters of the craft and has already attracted
award winning films in the past years. Under the direction
of festival president Gio Toninelo, the GI
JOE FEST has became one of the hottest and fastest
growing stop-motion festivals in the country.
We are currently touring
the United States with the winning films from 2009. Subsequently,
winning films from the 2010's Festival will travel in 2011.

characters or actors". The Festival is sponsored by
