The 2nd
GI JOE STOP MOTION FILM FESTIVAL will be held
October 9th, 2008, 7:30PM at the Bug Theater (Denver, CO
USA) and will combine the excitement of world premiere short-films
and fan tributes with the allure of Denver'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 year. Under the direction of festival president
Gio Toninelo, the GI JOE FEST
is determined to become one of the hottest and fastest growing
stop-motion festivals in the West.
We are currently touring
the United States West Coast with the winning films from
2007. Subsequently, winning films from the 2008's Festival
will travel in 2009.
The GI JOE STOP MOTION FILM FESTIVAL
is the nation's first festival dedicated to screening works
by stop-motion artists who use GI Joe or similar figures
