Sundance Online Film Festival 2004
Introduced in 2000 as a showcase for the most exciting work made for the Web, the Sundance Online Film Festival’s programming slate has expanded each year both in the number and in the diversity of films presented. In 2004 the Online Festival offered the most films since its inception and convened its first jury to select winning films in three categories: Animation, Short Subject, and New Forms Gallery. Audiences voted for their favorites in Animation and Short Subject.

In the Animation category, the award went to Bathtime in Clerkenwell, directed by Alex Budovsky. Jesse Epstein’s Wet Dreams False Images received the Short Subject award. The jury awarded the New Forms Gallery award to The Dawn at My Back: Memoir of a Texas Upbringing, a collaborative project of directors Carroll Parrott Blue and Kristy H.A. Kang. Online audiences voted Strangers, directed by Erez Tadmor and Guy Nattiv, as best Short Subject, and Andrew Cope and Tokyo Plastic’s Drum Machine as the winner in the Animation category.
