The energy and excitement of the annual SIGGRAPH conference, held in San Diego this past summer, will be brought directly to Portland this November by screening the SIGGRAPH 2003 Electronic Theater.

Cascade ACM SIGGRAPH, Oregon and Southwest Washington’s local SIGGRAPH chapter, will hold a special screening of the 2003 Electronic Theater Program at Laurelhurst Theater in Portland, Oregon. Food and drink are available for purchase inside the theater and can be taken into the theater. Because alcohol will be served, attendance will be limited to those who are at least 21 years old.

About SIGGRAPH’s Electronic Theater

Each year, the annual SIGGRAPH conference includes one internationally recognized showcase of the best computer graphics achievements from around the world. The Electronic Theater contains a selection of 26 juried works from a voluminous 635 submissions. The pieces were selected based on extremely high standards of creative and technical excellence.

The Electronic Theater is the world’s most prestigious film and video extravaganza, showcasing dazzling and innovative imagery in invited and submitted works selected by a distinguished jury of computer graphics experts and specialists. The works selected for this year’s Computer Animation Festival take us on a remarkable journey that combines the talent and brilliance of the current and future trends in art and science with the very best imagery depicting comedy, drama, romance, action, adventure, fantasy, science fiction, and science fact.

Always a highlight, the Electronic Theater melds art with the latest trends in hardcore computing. It’s the place to spot future trends in films and commercials.
