Welcome to VES 2001: A Festival of Visual Effects. Once again, VES 2001 offers an outstanding series of visual effects presentations for Pearl Harbor, The Mummy Returns, Enemy at the Gates, Shrek, Evolution, plus shows about visual effects for commercials, the web and models and miniatures.

As always, VES adds a few special programs and this year is no exception. VES 2001 is pleased to present the visual effects from all four Star Trek television series hosted by actor Michael Dorn, “Worf” in Star Trek: The Next Generation. And, the all star panels for Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Star Wars are truly a once in lifetime experience encompassing a “who’s who” of visual effects master artists. VES extends its gratitude to all of the Festival participants and those who contributed their time and effort in helping to put the Festival together.

VES recognizes the importance of work that serves to inspire us all. As such, this year the Visual Effects Society has chosen to present its first Inspiration Award to Peter Lord, Nick Park, Dave Sproxton and the creative artists at Aardman for their wonderful body of work over the years.
