performance video, and live-performance films. In addi- tion to the films, five papers were presented by a group of international authors. This year, Ament wanted to include a layer of Hollywood professionalism in the conference. To this end, she invited a few of her "Hollywood" friends: supervising sound editor David Stone, sound wrangler and sound designer Steve Lee, and myself, to present workshops on our areas of expertise. Ament, author of The Foley Grail, presented a panel on the use of Foley. Stone, the Oscar- winning sound sup for Bram Stoker's Dracula and co-editor with Ament of the recently released Hollywood Sound Design and Moviesound Newsletter: A Case Study of the End of the Analog Age, did a presentation on sound supervision. Lee, sound wrangler for some of the best Sups in Hollywood while employed at Weddington Productions, presented a talk on collecting sound and his newest venture, The Hollywood Sound Museum (HollywoodSoundMuseum.org). It is Lee's mission to collect and store much of the sounds and stories from many of the most famous films and filmmak- ers (and some not so famous) behind them for posterity. Finally, I did a presentation on the importance of location sound in a climate where the value of good production sound seems to be waning.

Photo: Dan Jacobsen Attendance at this event was smaller than many of the film festivals out there, but the value of this experience was appre- ciated by all of those who took advantage of it. The facilities at Ball State were first-class and made the experience even better for the presenters and attendees alike. A big thank-you goes out to CAS Associate member Stan Sollars for his con- tribution to the success of this year's Cinesonika event. The future is bright for the Cinesonika Film Festival. Cinesonika 6 is planned to be held concurrently with the Vancouver VFX Festival during the summer of 2017 in Vancouver, BC.
