RESFEST 2004 tour dates and programme line-up are announced for the new season of touring for this slick showcase of digital film and music videos. With a more comprehensive short film programme than ever before the Resfest programme signals the strengthening of the short form due to the ubiquity of digital film tools, and graduation of further motion graphics pieces and animation talent from music videos into drama.
