onedotzero_adventures in motion festival 2010 will present the most progressive new short films, creative talent and moving image work from around the world, including exclusive previews, feature films, playful interactive installations, audiovisual performances, talks, workshops and director Q&As. This year the festival features a variety of sensory experiences including a multi screen installation by Quayola, 2001-inspired intimate cinema Pods from Ovei, AntiVJ's latest incarnation of their audiovisual volcano mapping project "Eyjafjallajokull", Hellicar & Lewis and Feedback.

Music also features prominently, with very special live events by DJ Yoda at the BFI IMAX, a 20th anniversary screening and bar event for Ninja Tune as part of BUG and a special edition of the BFI's regular AV extravaganza, Dark Fibre, working with Musion's 3D holographic projection technology with a confirmed line-up including, Holotronica [Stuart Warren-Hill, Hexstatic], AV artists D-Fuse, av artists d-fuse with audio from Swayzak's Brun, VJ/illustrator Shantell Martin and electronic DJ/Producer 10SUI.

onedotzero director Shane RJ Walter explains this year's focus of the festival; taking 'utopian visions' as an undercurrent theme, this year's festival is imbued with a sense of adventure, hope and creative positivity', which can be seen evidently through wow + flutter and citystates. With an emphasis on convergence and collaboration, highlights include robotica, an exploration of the wonder and social effects of robots or androids which also includes a robot-building workshop in the form of moanbot; code warriors, investigating the trend of using computer code as raw material to create moving image work; and ladymation, a brand new programme showcasing eclectic gems from female directors currently leading the way in animation.

Prepared to be scared by the brand new programme onedotzero_nightfall - a barrage of the most extreme, leftfield and often bewitching entries into this year's festival programme, from gaming-edged horror and sci-fi weirdness to trippy psychedelia; extended play offers a compelling selection of shorts with unique visual styles that push traditional storytelling; plus new british talent showcases fresh work by the UK's brightest sparks in film making.

Special feature film preview events include Chico & Rita, an animated ballad set in jazz-era America from Oscar-winning director Fernando Trueba, which will be screened alongside a short film detailing the process of creating this collaborative project. Plus Q&As with Gareth Edwards, director of the visually stunning sci-fi road movie, Monsters and Steve Sale, who shot his affectionate documentary Superhero Me on any format going, from digital to mobile phone.

Stand-out work in wavelength includes a selection of music-inspired films, from Edouard Salier's astonishing futuristic noir video for Splitting the Atom from Massive Attack's critically lauded album Heligoland, to The Johnny Cash Project, a unique 'crowd-sourced' collaboration made up of hundreds of still images and individual portraits of the singer created by music-fans.

Musical animals get a look in too with Piu from Pleix, featuring a gloriously cute singing family of tiny birds; James Wignall's wheezy, squeezy Accordion / Dog; and Turning, by new british talent Karni & Saul, where the arrival of three strange old ladies at the house of a small boy offers up a mysterious procession of flamingos and fairytales.

Educational forums and panel discussions on topics such as short films, computer games and data visualisation run alongside the return of onedotzero_cascade, onedotzero's ongoing award winning collaborative education project, will lead a week-long course of workshops. BAFTA will also host a special panel discussion around the convergence of cinema and gaming.
