Last year’s Robot Film Festival, co-sponsored by Boing Boing!
My favorite San Francisco event of the year is coming up this weekend. Here’s why you can’t miss the fourth annual Robot Film Festival:
- It’s held in Bot & Dolly’s studios, the robotic cinematography company that did the special effects for Gravity and was recently acquired by Google. David wrote a profile about them for Business Week, it’s an incredible place.
- People bring their own robots, and it’s a total blast. Bot & Dolly demonstrates their massive robotic arms throughout the festival. See the above video for some of the robots crawling and skating around last year.
- Dirty Robot Brew Works will be serving up their special brewed-by-robots beers!
- And of course, the films! Lots of creative and brilliant robot-starring and robot-related movies were shown last year, and I can’t wait to see what comes up this year.
