The 3rd GI JOE STOP MOTION FILM FESTIVAL
will be held September 24th 2009, 7:30PM at the Bug Theater (Denver, CO
USA) and will combine the excitement of world premiere short-films and
fan tributes with the allure of Denver's nightlife. GI JOE Film
Festival highlights up and coming filmmakers, as well as masters of the
craft and has already attracted award winning films in the past year.
Under the direction of festival president Gio Toninelo, the GI JOE FEST
is determined to become one of the hottest and fastest growing
stop-motion festivals in the West.

We are currently touring
the United States West Coast with the winning films from 2008.
Subsequently, winning films from the 2009's Festival will travel in
2010.
