The Computer Animation Festival is a leading annual showcase for some of the world’s most influential digital films, curated from almost 500 submissions. As an official qualifying festival for the Oscars® since 1999, several works shown at the Festival have gone on to win a “Best Animated Short” Academy Award®. Submission categories include scientific visualizations and simulation, computer animated shorts, and animated feature films, among others. For the creators of these pioneering films and videos, the brilliant color and razor-sharp images delivered by Christie’s digital projectors ensure an accurate presentation of their artistic visions. Images will pop off the screen and come to life, thanks to the industry-leading performance of the Christie CP4230 and the Christie D4K3560 – a 3DLP® projector with Christie TruLife™ electronics, which delivers industry-leading ultra high resolution, high frame rate video with unprecedented image fidelity.
