New awards for 2007 include the Canon Best Cinematography Award, with the winner taking home a Canon XH A1 HD camera and the Adobe Animation Award, the festival say: "The award winning film will be chosen for its originality and technical proficiency by the Raindance jury and an Adobe animation specialist." The festival will open with Weirdsville on September 25 and run until October 7.
