Before I start writing I want to add the disclaimer that I have poor spelling and grammar and no editor.

I participated both as a volunteer and as a patron (ok I wasn't a paying patron).

Some of the stuff I saw was pretty creative and interesting, but maybe I'm not hip enough but some of it was just boring, arty garbage. Though from the snoring behind me I wasn't the only one who didn't enjoy some of the program. Short films that I liked were Revival by Heidi Phillips and v = d/t by Amanda Dawn Christie. They both had the similar style of over exposed video and electronic noise music. Also in relation to the audience, people do you really need to text during the show. The great glowing beacons of light make you look like an ass not important.

The closing performance at the Theatre Centre was well done. I was quite glad that I was not one of the poor souls who waited as long as an hour outside in the freezing cold in the rush line. I don't believe that anything started on time. There seemed to be a virus of malfunctioning equipment and lost souls. I found it odd at first that people came 30 min late to an one hour performance at first.

The Ammo Factory performed a David Lynchesque combination of live performance and video. It was entertaining even if I didn't find it completely original looking. They have a live performer who is auditioning for a video that is playing in the background.

The second performance was by Cloud something or other. Yeah, I'm bad with names. They did a combination of video/ music/ dance performance. I give it thumbs up. I did have the urge though to run up and pull all of the tape guides off the floor.
