Digital Storytelling Festival

DSTORY -- The 8th Annual Digital Storytelling Festival is moving from Sedona, AZ,  to the broadcast studios of KQED in San Francisco. It opens on 7 October 2005. Pre-Festival workshop runs 5-7 Oct and the post-festival workshop continues from 10-12 Oct. The festival is an annual event where the digital storytelling community gathers to examine compelling projects, to share information and ideas that inspire, invigorate and create a thoughtful dialogue around digital storytelling. Some interesting storylines, emanate from those with Irishblogs.

At Tipperary Institute, we use digital technology to create media-rich stories that impart meaning. It builds communities, gives a status to personal and legacy storytelling, and promotes the Auld Sod. The boundaries of digital storytelling continue to expand, now with the use of hand held devices, such as PDAs and mobile phones for situated story purposes.

As JD Lasica points out, the Bay Area is one of the most active areas for digital storytelling, and many consider it to be the birthplace of the movement.

Pricing is reasonable:

• $350 Festival Registration (Evening of Oct. 7 to Oct. 9)
• $200 Festival Registration for students
• $725 Digital Storytelling Bootcamp Workshop and Festival.
