Open Dome Productions

This retrospective of the first five years of DomeFest (2004-08) features Domie winners and other celebrated works for fulldome. DomeFest jurors and the fulldome community helped curate the show by rating about 33 pieces. The 'Retro5pective' was inspired by the Australian Network for Arts & Technology, supported by RiAustralia, and premiered at the Big Pond Adelaide Film Festival (Feb. 09). The reel is now in distribution and will play at the start of DomeFest 2009 in Albuquerque (UPDATE!!! 25-27 September). A production of the ARTS Lab at the University of New Mexico. Note: This and all DomeFest material is most properly viewed on a hemispheric screen 15-meters diameter or greater. Enjoy!

Documentary about proposed development at south end of Kiawah Island, produced by Mary Edna Fraser and Celie Dailey. Includes interviews with Dr. Orrin Pilkey, Professor of Earth Scieces at Duke University, and Nancy Vinson, Coastal Conservation League's Program Director for Air and Water Quality. Diagrams and maps are provided by geologist Miles O. Hayes, quoted in a recent Post & Courier article as saying, "I'm appalled that they want to develop that spit. Ridiculous. Stable? It's one of the most unstable places on the East Coast."
