28 March 2007 Renderyard Experimental Film & Animation Festival The Renderyard Experimental Film & Animation Festival 2007 is now open for entries. Last year was an amazing year for the festival and they received some of the best quality films I have had the privilege of viewing. This year, as well as Short Films and Animations, the London-based festival has added two new categories for Screenwriters and Film Composers. It has also partnered with social networking site Si-Mi (www.si-mi.com) to have a dedicated Renderyard Festival Channel for high-quality streaming of Festival films. The festival is one of the best value for money festivals on the circuit, with entry fees at only USD20. Please go here to submit your new films for the 2007 Renderyard Festival. www.renderyard.com Watch last year's festival trailer on our Youtube page: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFxLtHskpiE
