The festival is acclaimed for its low-key atmosphere and high quality features, and last year I was given the opportunity of attending this incredible event as a part of the annual Telluride Film Festival Student Symposium.

Granted, at the time I knew nothing about new media art, but a term in New York and Europe? Studying art? I was immediately on board.
