RESFest

RESFest

RESFest (1996-2006) was by the 2000's the most prominent digital film festival in North America. It was a leading global showcase of new digital filmmakers alongside England's Onedotzero festival. The festival toured the world and in 2005 travelled to 35 cities in the USA, Canada, UK, Japan, Australia, Brazil and in various cities in Europe, Asia and Africa. A large part of the festival's latter content focused on cutting-edge music videos and short films, and directors like Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze, Chris Cunningham and Jonathan Glazer who have all had their catalogs of work showcased at RESFest over its 10 year run. The film festival was founded by Jonathan Wells after the dissolution of the Low Res digital film festival which he and Bart Cheever had created the year before. Cheever went on to create the DFilm digital film festival and online movie maker.

In 1997, producers also spawned the digital film lifestyle magazine, RES, which was affiliated with the online media site, Sputnik 7.

Both the festival and magazine stopped updating their websites in the midst of RESFests's 2006 tour, and have since been inactive.
