The Post-Cinematic Society wishes to thank the filmmakers, fans, and sponsors who made our 2008 Film Is Dead Festival a resounding success. Memorial Day Weekend was the perfect time to put old media to bed and bring forward new and innovative voices in digital cinema.

Continuing our tradition of recontextualizing movies within diverse viewing environments, we located from historic Putney Theater in Los Angeles to Bombay Beach on the shore of the beautiful Salton Sea. Our outdoor festival was completely "off the grid" as our digital projectors were powered by a KS Portable Solar Powered Generator. Special thanks to Bob and Will Gorch for helping shuttle festival guests from the airport at Palm Springs to our unusual location.

And thank you to the digital moviemakers who submitted their works!!! Every year the PCS attempts to choose the finest films within a broad reaching theme of digital media, and this year was no exception.

This year our festival took inspiration from David Cronenberg's McLuhanesque science fiction thriller Videodrome to explore the theme of "digital flesh" -- and were amazed at the response. The films we screened explored notions of the body in relation to cyberspace, the natural environment, and the digital filmic apparatus -- and with a few flesh eating zombies thrown in for good measure.

Please join us next year in Niland as we continue to bring forth the latest in innovative and undiscovered digital cinema!

We wish to express our gratitude to this year's sponsors:

• MSI Studios
• Movie666 Journal
• The Digital Arts Institute
• Puckwater Prospecting, LLC.
• Bombay Beach Cinematic Arts Guild

Thanks your your continued support and "long live the new flesh!"
