Shame I came across this so late - honestly worth getting on a plane and flying to London for, even though the Festival is running for just a couple days...

Onedotzero, the premier purveyors of experimental/contemporary video shorts via DVD, have organized an amazing lineup of artists as part of their Adventures in Motion Festival held in the South End of London.  It kicks off tomorrow and has a full schedule until Sunday night - with commissioned collaborative pieces, installations, screenings etc...
