22-24 September 2000
at the BFI IMAX® Cinema
and NFT, South Bank, London
 
3 days of the latest and greatest ideas in visual effects.
Technology interwoven with its creative applications.
The BKSTS SFX conference moves from its traditional home at Pinewood into Central London.


Organised by the BKSTS, in association with the Visual Effects Society

BKSTS (The Moving Image Society) has been hosting the only dedicated Special Effects conference in the world since 1984 as a biennial event. This year the event has moved from its traditional home at Pinewood Studios, to larger venues in the exciting area of London’s South Bank, reflecting the phenomenal growth and interest in all areas of Visual effects. 
With the support of the Visual Effects Society, this conference will once again educate and inform everyone interested in visual effects – artists, producers, supervisors, cinematographers, editors, directors, technicians, facility managers - anyone from professionals to students. With a unique insight into the future, visual effects for Digital Cinema and Large Format will be incorporated into the main programme, alongside the in-depth coverage of the traditional film and television media. The mix of technologies, together with their creative applications, makes this conference a truly special event. 
Integral to the conference is the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with other industry professionals, both in the formal sessions and the social events that complement the program.
