******************************** Below is some press info on the festival: ***************************************** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 13.10.04

Details of Ireland's most dynamic festival, the Darklight Digital Festival, will be announced next week.

The 5-year old Darklight Digital Festival is the newest brat on the block for innovative digital films and artworks, and this year kicks off with even more films, music videos and animation than ever before.

The experimental creators in this festival have continually challenged international audiences, and this year with the most evolved programme yet, promises to be no exception.

Highlights of this year's festival include animated stories of macabre circus love, a one-meter high steel wrecking ball that you can activate and then avoid plus a banquet of free workshops and seminars to engage even the most seasoned of digital media makers.

Darklight, the only festival of its kind in Ireland, is being held this year in Dublin's creative village - The Digital Hub on Thomas Street. This 5-day digital festival kicks off on the 17th-21st November and brings to the Liberties, Darklight's pioneering reputation by transforming the inner city buildings into a cinema, gallery, games arcade and discussion arena where projections, sound installations and an interactive art programme will take place.

The festival runs from the 17th ? 21st of November 2004, with the exhibition continuing until mid December.
